Spring Network Constraints

Hi All

 

I was following the bullet masterclass for Houdini 13 from Sidefx site.

 

At one of the examples he goes and set a spring constraint network for a wall, then a torus hits the wall so when force is above a certain threshold he breaks the network from a sop solver using a force attribute ( he says the solver creates for him).

 

So as I am a fairly new Houdini user I am having some troubles.

 

There is no shelf tool to create a spring network,  only glue.

So I went ahead and did that and then changed attribute wrangle in the constrain network SOP from Glue to Spring. I also changed the DOP node from Glue Constraint Relationship to a Spring Constraint Relationship with a Dataname of Spring.

All looks ok and indeed I have springs working only problem is when I dive to Geometry Details for Constraint Network I obviously dont have force attributes as he has in his ready made example.

So I cant make use of a SOP Solver to delete bonds base on force attribute.

 

Question is:  How do I go about creating some force attributes?

 

Hope its clear!

 

Thank you all
