SimulateParticlesNode

Associated Parameters: SimulateParticlesNode

UI Location

• Simulation

Description

Updates each the position and the velocity of each particle based on its previous velocity, position, mass and force attributes. The simulation also takes into account the SimulatedFrameFraction attribute, which is expected to be between 0 and 1 and represents the how much of the frame was already simulated.

The SimulatedFrameFraction attribute is used when events happen within a frame such as when a particle is created or when a particle collides with a surface.

inname

Type: siICENodeDataReference

Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle

Context: siICENodeContextSingleton

Allows daisy chaining nodes to specify the reference. The scene path connected to this port is appended as a prefix to the reference string of the node.

Description

simulate

Type: siICENodeDataExecute

Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle

Context: siICENodeContextSingletonOrComponent0D

The port to connect so the node executes.

outname

Type: siICENodeDataReference

Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle

Context: siICENodeContextSingleton

Allows daisy chaining nodes. Connect this port into the In Name port of another node to prefix the reference of the other node with the reference of this node.
