The position of the Source icon in the scene does not matter. If you have many Simulators in the scene, by default each Simulator will interact with a Source's Emitter Nodes as long as they are inside this Simulator. You can exclude Sources or Emitters from a Simulator's Scene Interaction rollout. If you use Include mode, you have to pick both the Source and its Emitter Nodes in the Interaction List.
The Source can emit in 3 different Emit Modes - Surface Force mode creates fluid only at the surface of emitters, Volume Brush fills the entire volume of the emitters, and Volume Inject also fills the emitter's volume and adds pressure for an explosive effect.
...
Polygon ID | poly_id – Only the polygons with the specified ID of the emitter geometry will emit the fluid. This option affects the discharge only in Surface Force mode.

The main purpose of Texture UVW is to provide dynamic UVW coordinates for texture mapping that follow the simulation. If such simulated texture coordinates are not present for mapping, textures assigned to your simulation will appear static, with the simulated content moving through the image. This undesired behavior is often referred to as 'texture swimming'. In Phoenix such textures can be used for mapping the fire or smoke color and opacity of volumetrics, as well as the color and opacity of meshes. Texture can be also used for displacing volumetrics and meshes. UVW coordinates are generated by simulating an additional Texture UVW Grid Channel which has to be enabled under the Output rollout for the settings below to have any effect. For additional information on the Texture UVW feature, please check the Dynamics rollout documentation. |
