I remember a thread in the beta forum that this feature was re-enabled. It is also mentioned in the release notes.

Online docs also mention this: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini14.0/nodes/dop/clothtearingproperties [sidefx.com]

That node does not seem to actually exist in our current houdini 14 build.

Am I missing something or is something missing?

Cheers,

Hi,

That node is no longer used. The documentation for it should be removed.

Tearing for the Cloth Object in Houdini 14.0 works basically the same as fracturing for the Solid Object; you enable fracturing on the solver and the Cloth Object, and you specify a "fracturethreshold' that indicates the maximum amount of stress at which tearing starts.
I've attached a simple example of cloth tearing.

It's in the docs now.
