Rectangle

Contactable rectangle

	Description
	The Rectangle element models a contactable rectangle. The contactable surfaces are the top and bottom of the rectangle. The thickness of the rectangle is used as the uncompressed length, $L_{0}$ , in the contact force computation (for details, see Multibody Contact Modes).
