Hello,I learn destruction with glue .There's one question I can't understand and need help.
In Attribute Wrangle. what does the “@strength” mean? I didn't find glue's strength value changed.So what's “@strength” used to do?
What's the "@strength = ?" used to do? in attribute wrangle of glue constraint?

It's hard to say without seeing the code, but @strength refers to the geometry's strength attribute. In this case it would be the glue strength of your constraints. Hard to tell if the code is doing anything or not, maybe a threshold for its effect is not being met.

its mentioned here
so yes, the @strength attribute will act as a per constraint multiplier for the strength parameter that you underlined in the screenshot
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/dop/constraintnetwork.html#constraint-attributes
…You can create attributes on the geometry to customize each constraint’s behavior and type. If a primitive attribute with the same name as a constraint property (such as damping) is present, the attribute value will be multiplied with the value from the constraint sub-data…

Yes, look in the geo spreadsheet… you will see “strength” as a primitive attribute on your constraint network. In this case it's making the wall stronger at the bottom and weaker at the top, (I assume to prevent it from collapsing under its own weight).
