Associated Parameters: SimulateParticlesNode
Introduced

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.

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. |
