Configure the Particles

The next step is to configure the Particles sub-section that will allow you to modify and configure the display settings for all the Particles and Particle Types in the simulation.

To configure Particles:
  1. Select Particles > Color By: > Particles.
    The following two options are available:
    1. customBondsInitial – Indicates the number of bonds that an element has after the initial bond formation time.
    2. customBondsDamage – Indicates the metric for the damage to the bonds for a given particle, calculated as:

      A value of 0.0 indicates that all initial bonds are now formed. A value of 1.0 indicates that all initial bonds are now broken.

  2. In the Particles section, clear the Display All Particles checkbox and then click Apply All.
    The particles are not displayed in the Viewer.
