25.77 SurfaceToSurfaceStdState object

The SurfaceToSurfaceStdState object stores the propagating data for a SurfaceToSurfaceContactStd object. One instance of this object is created internally by the SurfaceToSurfaceContactStd object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the SurfaceToSurfaceContactStd object.

The SurfaceToSurfaceStdState object has no constructor or methods.

The SurfaceToSurfaceStdState object is derived from the InteractionState object.
