  Hi All,
  
  In the contact status options what is the exact meaning of each status?
  
  From what I understood,
  
  Sticking - no tangential movement between the two contact surface
  
  Sliding - there is tangential movement between the two contact surface
  
  Near - contact surface has normal separation within pinball radius.
  
  Far - contact surface has considerable separation
  
  Over constrained - How can two contact surface be over constrained, this I do not understand.
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Regards,
