Typo in Leeds Contact module code?

  In Rocky 2025 R1 for the Leeds Contact module, the equation in the module manual doesn't match the source code downloaded from the modules add-on. In the code, s_dot rather than sqrt(s_dot) is used.
  
  Equation 16-7
  F = 2*eta*sqrt(m*K*s_dot)
  
  double damping_coefficient = leeds_material_interaction.damping_ratio * 2.0 * sqrt(equivalent_mass * elastic_stiffness);
  damping_force = damping_coefficient * (overlap - previous_overlap) / contact.get_timestep();

  Hello,
  
  there is a typo in the documentation. It will be corrected, thanks. The equation 16-7 should be as it is in the source code.
