A Point to Deformable Surface contact can be used to model contact between a point on a rigid body and a Deformable Surface. When the deformable surface is defined on a surface of flexible body, this entity can be used to model contact between a rigid body and a flexible body.

The contact is specified at a certain radius from the point.  As a result, the contact is essentially between a sphere represented analytically and a deformable surface.
