MultiPointContact with custom rigid edge / surface #810

@adtzlr

Description

@adtzlr

In #805 and #808, a non-flat rigid edge would also be of interest.

$$f(\boldsymbol{x})$$

It is important to deal with coordinates of the deformed configuration (the rigid edge / surface is fixed in space). This requires the first partial derivatives $\partial f / \partial \boldsymbol{x}_t$ and $\partial f / \partial \boldsymbol{x}_C$.

The corresponding weak-form expression:

$$ \delta W_\text{ext} = \int_{\partial v} \delta u \cdot \lambda (x-x_\text{ext})^+ da $$

with the ramp function

$$ (x)^+ = \frac{x + |x|}{2} $$
