[ODE] Anisotropic friction

[Ivan Tanev]

Dear All,

I would like to ask you to advise me about the simulation of the anisotropic 
friction in ODE. I tried to set the parameters of the contact of a body with 
the surface as follows:

--------------------------------
contact[i].surface.mode   =  dContactSlip1 OR dContactFDir1;
contact[i].surface.mu        =  1;

contact[i].fdir1[0] = 1;    // high friction along X
contact[i].fdir1[1] = 0.1; // low friction along Y
contact[i].fdir1[2] = 0.1;
--------------------------------

However,  it doesn't work properly, and the body doesn't seem to move along 
Y axis easier (than along X) when pushed by arbitrary forces at various 
angles.

Thanking in advance, and please apologize me if I have missed something from 
the docs or ML archive.

Sincerely,

Ivan
