Hi,

I'm trying to model a sleeper on a ballast layer. The sleeper should have a 
parallelepiped shape and should behave as a dynamic body. Also, it has to be 
subjected to a vertical force. So, my questions are:

1) How can I model the sleeper? 
I've tried to do it by means of "utils.box", but this body neither interact 
with spheres nor with walls.
I also have tried to do it by means of "utils.geom.facetBox", but I can't 
achieve the facetBox to move like a dynamic body (dynamic=True,fixed=False), it 
just disappears when the simulation starts.

2) Can a force be set up in any point of the surface of a box or a facetBox? Or 
should this problem be treated as a force applied to the center of gravity and 
the corresponding moment?

Thanks!!
