Hi, 

I am trying to simulate the triaxial test with a flexible membrane in a 
cylindrical shape.

Background information:
Spherical particle.
Top and bottom plates use facets.
Lateral membrane use pfacet.

Right now, I am confused about the engines.
The following is an example of the engines.

Questions:

1:  Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom() and Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom6D().

Do I need to include both of them? 
one is for sphere-facet, another one is for sphere-facet (facet from pfacet, 
correct me if I am wrong).
because as mentioned in [1], this is for the virtual sphere, so I need to add 
Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom() for the sphere which contacts the top and bottom 
facets.



2: For the sphere and PFacet contact, Do I need to add all the 7 Ig2 functors?
########################################################
                Ig2_GridNode_GridNode_GridNodeGeom6D(),
                Ig2_GridConnection_GridConnection_GridCoGridCoGeom(),
                Ig2_Sphere_PFacet_ScGridCoGeom(),
                Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom6D(),
                Ig2_Sphere_GridConnection_ScGridCoGeom(),
                Ig2_PFacet_PFacet_ScGeom(),
                Ig2_GridConnection_PFacet_ScGeom(),
#######################################################
Because from [2] (the author also simulates the triaxial test with pfacet), the 
code does not include the following Ig2 factors.
                Ig2_Sphere_GridConnection_ScGridCoGeom(),
                Ig2_PFacet_PFacet_ScGeom(),
                Ig2_GridConnection_PFacet_ScGeom(),
#######################################################


3: what is the difference between Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom6D() and 
Ig2_Sphere_PFacet_ScGridCoGeom()?
Because the pfacet-sphere contact also uses the virtual sphere to detect the 
contact with real spheres.

thank you!
