I had just assumed this would be an easy thing to do but now I'm not sure its possible at all. I want to make shapes and use them as pumps for smoke so that the smoke will fill the container, I have tried with some poly objects I modeled that has a bend in the object but it seems the smoke won't pump through it… is this possible? maybe its something I did as I'm still fairly new to dynamics so I will keep trying to see if I can get it.

thanks for any input.

It will help if you can post an image of your problem or a hip file.

I don't understand what your problem is.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply.. well here is an .obj file that I am trying to use as a pump.. I want to make it so that I can pump smoke or fluid through it but I can't get it to work, it just goes in a straight line so the liquid or smoke doesn't curve with the object.

I'm using apprentice so I didnt post an .hip file.

thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I'm guessing maybe there is something else I need to do to the geometry to make it handle the fluid?
