No problems there.  YASim now reports this number in
/gear/gears[n]/compression-norm (should be an OK choice, according to
our rapidly evolving property conventions).  The remaining problems
are only bookkeeping.  We need to make exactly certain that the FDM
and the model agree on the placement of the gear and their direction
of compression.
