Create/Modify Particles

Analysis > Particles > Create/Modify Particles

Dialog Box

It is used to create particles and to modify the existing particles.

Create Particles From

This option is used to create particles either from solid body or from selected nodes of point body.

Solid bodies

This option helps to create point body from the selected solid body by means of retaining their nodes.

Point body nodes

This helps to create a new point body from the selected nodes of point body(s).

Modify Particles

To modify the existing fluid level and solid particles.

Fluid

It helps to modify the existing fluid level (Fluid1 and Fluid2) using:

  1. By plane (or)
  2. By percentage of "Fluid1" volume.

  • By plane

    The selected point body(s) will be split based on the defined plane.

    The plane is defined using "Define Fluid Level" option and its normal points to Fluid 1 region.

  • By percentage of "Fluid1" volume

    It helps for modifying the selected point body(s) based on specified percentage of "Fluid 1" volume.

    The reference plane and the Fluid 1 region/gravity direction is defined using "Define Gravity Direction Using Plane" option.

    "Update Fluid Level" is used to preview the split region by offsetting the user defined reference plane based on specified percentage of "Fluid1" volume as shown below.

    In above use case, user specified 10% as "Fluid1" volume and its particles are modified as shown below.

Solid

The selected point body(s) will split based on the defined plane.
