eyadorabi Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hello, I have been experimenting with Grains node and shelf setups as as custom setups. I started with a sphere, then a sand castle and last was a statue. Some results were pleasant then I ran into some issues. Weird and strange behaviors such as floating sand clumps. Mainly it looks like too much force or friction. The problem that the solver feels like it is too sensitive (minor values can change things very quickly). Any pointers or advice is greatly appreciated. Copy_of_SandCastle.mp4 SandCastle_002.mov SandCastle_003.mp4 SandSolver_issue.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyadorabi Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Updated 5 million particles. Looks stable but can’t control the setup to my liking. I will still have a second look at the master class. untitled.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mia it safe to assume this would reflect on the above? Do I need to turn on the the explicit constraints create option? I noticed my sim gets slow when this option is turned on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
