i have this bridge that gets destroyed and ive saved out the sequence with a rop. how would i bring this sequence in to drive liquid in a one way relationship moving across the bridge? can i bring it into the static solver?

If it is a bgeo then you can simply read it in with a file sop and treat it like any other geometry. If you use it for sims you may have to append a timeblend sop. It would also be useful if you had saved out the collision sdf beforehand.

In the DOP context itself, I don't know. But if you saved it as a sim, you can read it in. I think it is the merge dop that has a relationship option. Maybe something can be done with that.

its a .sim file.

i tried bringing the .sim file into a merge node with my liquid but i get some severe velocity issues when the liquid comes into contact with it.

i then tried bringing the file into a geometry context and added a time blend node then a dop import. im treating it as a static object in the solver but i dont know how that will be handled yet. its a tricky one. in any case it seems the file needs to go through some kind of solver, and i dont think an appropriate one exists…

Static should be OK. Make sure you get a propper collision object and Deforming/Translating in the dops are set properly.
