Secondary Fracture April 25, 2011, 12:50 a.m.

Hi all, I have a simple fracturing simulation done here. But I want to create secondary fracturing. Meaning the fractured pieces will further fracture into smaller pieces. I tried adding another voronoi fracture node and another dop network. But it doesn't seem to work. Anyone got any ideas how to proceed? And is there a way to control the secondary fracture when to break or must there be a object that needs to interact with the primary fracture pieces in order for it to break? Many thanks!

Getting the inside group out from voronoi fracture node April 12, 2011, 11:55 p.m.

Hi all, I am trying to emit particles from a voronoi fracture simulation. My first idea was to emit particles from the inside group of the voronoi fracture. But the problem is that the dynamics which is done in the dopnetwork is way down the hierarchy after the voronoi fracture node. And I wanted the particles to only emit after the dynamics. But when I tried putting a delete node after the dopnetwork to delete everything except the inside group, I couldn't. The problem is that when I tried searching for the “inside” group or even typing the “inside” out, the error is that the inside group couldn't be found.

I attached a hip file, to further explain the problem. Hope you guys could help. Many thanks!

Okay I understood already. Thanks a lot to both jeff and Darric.
