Hi.

I'm trying to figure out how metaball force and gravity applies to glue constraints. For example, please look at the follwoing three pictures in order. Red constraints are for intra-cluster and green constraints are for inter-cluster. As you can see in the first picture, a metaball force applies for one frame and as soon as it happens the destruction of intra-cluster constraints propagates to a certain degree for a while.

I made it work so by using some wrangle nodes. So in the frame (just one frame) in which has a force it'd destruct any constraints for high force and weaker intra-cluster for low-medium force. What I don't understand is why it propagates. The force applies only in one frame but after that frame I could still see non-zero force attributes values in geometry spreadsheet and also seemed to be maintaining those values for pretty long time… or maybe till the end of the simulation. I thought it could be gravity force but I'm not sure. Any advice'll be appreciated.
