Overview

This tool creates a Solid Object node in the current simulation and sets it up to import from the selected object. See solid (FEM) simulation for more information.

Creating a solid object

  1. Select the geometry to convert to a solid object.

  2. On the Solid tab, click the Solid Object tool.

Note

Once you convert geometry to a solid object, you can only transform, rotate, and scale it at the first frame.

For parameter help see the Solid Object node help.
