Separation Contact

The Separation contact allows separation between parts but prohibits part penetration.

In the model, the pin end of the trigger contacts the actuator. When you pull the trigger, the pin end of the trigger pushes the actuator forward. When the trigger is released, the pin end and the actuator can separate. Since the pin end cannot penetrate the actuator and separation can occur between the parts, the contact relationship is simulated with the Separation contact.
