Structure IRockyAdhesionOutputData
Last update: 09.03.2026![][C++]
#include
IRockyAdhesionOutputData is an interface to define some property values related to an adhesive contact in a custom adhesion model. The values defined through this interface include the normal and tangential components of the adhesion force.

Function set_normal_force
ROCKY_FUNCTIONS void IRockyAdhesionOutputData::set_normal_force(double value)
This method sets the value of the normal component of the adhesion force calculated by a custom:
adhesion model. Rocky will sum this force to both entities associated to the contact (two particles or a particle and a geometry triangle) using the appropriate signs. Please note that since an adhesion force is attractive, normally it must be defined with a negative sign (i.e. its orientation must be opposite to the normal component of the contact force).
Parameters:
- value: The normal component of the adhesive force just calculated using a custom adhesion model.
Parameters:
- double value
Return type: ROCKY_FUNCTIONS void
Function set_tangential_force
ROCKY_FUNCTIONS void IRockyAdhesionOutputData::set_tangential_force(double3 value)
**This method can be used to set the value of the tangential component of the adhesion force **:
calculated by a custom adhesion model. Rocky will sum this force to both entities associated to the contact (two particles or a particle and a geometry triangle) using the appropriate signs. The use of this function is optional, since only in specific cases (like in a liquid bridge model) an adhesion model will need to specify a tangential force component.
Parameters:
- value: The tangential component of the adhesive force expressed in Cartesian coordinates.
Parameters:
- double3 value
Return type: ROCKY_FUNCTIONS void
