Body Force Geometry

[flipbook]

Just trying to setup a body force Smoke sim. Is it not possible to have the Body Force object be a non-solid? It causes a crash. Would like to attract more to the volume of the object rather than just the surface.

Thanks!

Definitely shouldn't cause a crash, and apart from that should be ok Thanks for reporting this, I managed the reproduce it - will be fixed ASAP.

Ok thanks

Hi Svetlin, is this fix in the latest nightly before I look to upgrade

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Fixed in today's nightly, yes

[flipbook]

Just tried it, still crashing

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Huh, do you have a scene for that?

[flipbook]

Yep, here you go.. really basic scene.

Dang, must be fixed more - I hope it will be in for tomorrow.

Ok no problem

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Alright, so there will be no crash for tomorrow's nightly and the non-solids will work with body force for the fire/smoke solver too, not just with FLIP as it was until now..

However, I'm really not happy with how the gravity and the smoke buoyancy work with the forces and will try to push a modification to that, but it will be in the nightlies as early as Monday, or maybe even later..

Ok thats good, thanks Svetlin.. I'm away until tuesday after today so it should workout just fine
