It's possible to break or fracture an object simulated with the new vellum feature “vellum tetrahedral softbody” as the FEM “fractured solid object”?
I tried with the method “edge fracture” + “vellum weld” but it seams doesn't work.

Thank you in advance !

1. Houdini can use point groups from solid fracture node. Just switch on “split primitives” checkbox there. Then you can add vellum weld and play with breaking parameters. Collision is not accurate though

2. Create pieces using Voronoi or Boolean then tetrahedralize each of them in for-each SOP. Use weld points constraint and you are done
