Floating objects?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I am trying to make one object float over a volume liquid water. I have created the water using the shelf tools, I turned the object that is supposed to float into an rbd object. When I start the simulation, it seems like the object might float on the surface but it always stays in the turbulence of the water pouring so never rises to surface. I am wondering what would be best way to simulate floating objects over a constantly filling liquid container, tank etc?

thanks

A little late but better late then never: You just need to set the Feedback scale in the internal forces tab of you Fluid solver which is in the AutoDopNetwork to anything higher then 0. This way, the forces of the liquid are used to effect any rigid bodies you have in your sim.

Hope this helps.
