FEM Slide constraint state error March 12, 2024, 10:34 a.m.

This helps a lot. Thanks!

FEM Slide constraint state error Feb. 26, 2024, 9:48 a.m.

I'm having trouble setting up an FEM slide constraint. I get different errors in the DOP network depending on which node I have selected and if I've run a simulation or not. After running, the FEM solver has the warning "Failed to read state for slide constraints".

As a test I tried to replicate the video found on this documentation page https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/dop/femslideconstraint.html [www.sidefx.com]

I've attached the file and a screenshot of the DOPs setup.

I've struggled to find much information about FEM in general. Looking through the documentation, and using a few tutorials on the sideFX website, I've been able to piece some things together but I get stuck frequently. I'm not sure if its just a lack of information about how to use FEM, or my lack of experience with DOPs and Houdini in general. Any tips on how to get a better grasp on FEM are greatly appreciated!
