The geoConnector node provides an interface between ordinary
geometry objects (such as NURBS surfaces) and the dynamics system.
A geoConnector node is associated with any such geometry which is
emitting particles, exerting a force field, or colliding with
particles. The geoConnector node is not used when making an object
a rigid or soft body. The node stores positions (and if necessary,
pseodo-velocities) for the geometry, and provides a tesselated
polygonal representation if needed for emission or collisions.
