N2 - The motion of systems of polygonal objects is characterized by discontinuities due to changes in the set of contacts between polygons. Effective simulations of such a motion requires a simulation scheme that can automatically update the set of contacts during the simulation. This article focuses on a contact updating problem that arises when a penalty based contact model is used. A penalty based model requires a finite overlap of contacting polygons. This overlap results in ambiguities in characterizing corner-corner contact between polygons. A simple yet effective scheme to overcome such ambiguities is presented.
