Modify Contact Case to Include TIED #90

Closed srwopschall closed 2 months ago

srwopschall commented 2 months ago

Tied contact isn't really a contact model, it is a specific 'case' in which contact enforcement is used. The contact model is meant to handle constitutive type models/response. Here we move TIED to the contact case, and delineate tied in the normal direction from tied 'full', which includes normal and tangential (there is no foreseeable use case for tied only in the tangential direction).
