    TYPE = SLIDE

    • Only valid for small sliding
    • Only normal contact stiffness is generated

    TYPE = STICK

    • No sliding once gap is closed

    TYPE = FREEZE

    • Enforces zero relative motion between contact surfaces
    • Contacts are closed at all times, no matter the distance between them
    • Rotations on the slave patch are matched to the rotations of the master patch (LGDISP)
