Apply Velocity to RBD Pieces by Position, issue..!

[Masoud]

 

Hi everyone,

 

I have an RBD Fractured Object wired into a Rigid Body Solver (Bullet), and I’d like to apply a custom velocity to each piece whose centroid’s Y position is below 0.5.

I tried this inside a Point Wrangle within a SOP Solver, but it didn’t work:

if (@P.y < 0.5)
{
    v@vel = {0, 10, 0};
}

I also attempted the same approach inside a Geometry Wrangle in DOPs, but that didn’t work either.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance!

It is easier to control if you used packed RBDs. Then you can overwrite the v@v attribute.

Add an Assemble dop before the dopnetwork and check Create Packed Primitives.

Thank you, Atom.
I actually need to apply velocity to "RBD fractured objects".

Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this?

I think I should use a (velocity vector) field, right?

It's inconvenient compared to the packed primitives but if it's necessary you can try vop force dop.

Thanks, Victor. That’s really helpful.
