In ``bloc_friction.cc``, a simple example of 2D friction is presented, using the Contact Mechanics model in a dynamic situation.
A block is compressed against a wall, before undergoing a constrained lateral displacement from its upper surface.
A friction coefficient of 0.3 is imposed at the interface, creating a stick-and-slip phenomenon.

The material and contact parameters are set up in the ``material.dat`` file.
The wall and the block, lower and upper respectively, have the same properties.
The ``contact_detector`` is used to define the numerical parameters for calculating the contact.

Finally, ``contact_resolution`` is used for the interface properties, and the penalties to be applied for numerical resolution.
Here, a linear penalty is applied.
``mu`` defines the coefficient of friction, and can be freely modified.
``epsilon`` represents numerical penalties to be applied in order to maintain contact at the interface, and must be set by the user during the simulation.
``epsilon_n`` is used to prevent the two interfaces from interpenetrating, and ``epsilon_t`` to detect friction.
``is_master_deformable`` is set to false to ignore wall deformation, in order to reduce calculation times.
