nParticles Liquid Simulation will not work properly

Anonymous — Thu, 04 May 2017 21:24:45 GMT

Hello

I have made a model of a fishbowl and used nParticles then Modify Convert nParticles to Mesh to make water. When I hit play, the mesh falls outside of the passive collider fishbowl a little bit on the sides. I have enclosed pictures, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It looks like the bowl is one-sided. If that's the case, try modeling the inner side as well so that the mesh is solid/enclosed before making it a passive collider of the fluid.

Hope this helps.

Hi!

Multiple Options:

1. Edit Output Mesh Properties.

2. Edit Particle Size and Collisions Parameters.

3. Add Thickness to your fishbowl, for the nRigidShape or/and for the mesh itself.

Thank you for your reply!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "one-sided," do you mind explaining?

Thank you for your reply!

I have tried changing all of those attributes, but the liquid mesh still goes outside of the polygon. Are there any other attributes that could be the source of the problem?
