I'm using Flip Fluids and particle fluid emitter, and playing around with viscosity.  I found at the very bottom of the flipfluidObject a checkbox to create a viscosity attribute, it says it creates and defaults to 1.  

How can I change the point attribute inside dops?

Got it.

Flip Solver + Sop Solver + Multi Solver

Well if you dive inside of the Flip solver you'll see that it's all just microsolvers connected to a multi solver. So you can connect your SOPSolver to the second or fourth inputs of the Flip Solver (I think, I don't have it in front of me).

Won't really do anything different, will just get rid of an unnecessary node.

Hey, I was wondering if you could go into more detail on that?

I'm trying to do a sim that has varying viscosity (by attribute). I've got the initial variation working, but the DOPs viscosity values aren't updating when I change them at the SOPs level. Any advice on how you used the SOP solver to control your viscosity attribute?

Thanks!

it is not a sopsolver at SOPlevel, instead use it in dops
add a multisolver, and plugin the flip first, then the sopsolver, connect the flipobject to the multisolver
that should do the trick

You can just plug it into the post solve...
Not sure if it's any faster, but it's one less multisolver.

Thanks Christian and Martin! My viscosity attribute updates perfectly now!
