Page History

This page provides information on the Simulation rollout for a FireSmokeSim object.

Overview

...

The Simulation roll-out rollout contains the main panel for controlling the simulation process. It displays statistical information for simulation times and the content of the cache file for the current frame. The content can be grid channels such as Temperature or Velocity, or particle groups. You can select which channels are exported to the cache file from the Output rollout, while the particle groups are automatically created by the Simulator.

Most simulations require long time to calculate and it's very convenient to let them run during the night. However, you still have to render the result in the morning and this also consumes a lot of time. The Phoenix FD scripting system allows you to execute any action at the end of the simulation, and that includes the rendering as well. You just have to enable the scripting from the Simulation roll-out the Simulation rollout and open the script text. For more information, see the Nightly Simulation and Rendering section on the Tips and Tricks page.
