Select the Simulator and open the Grid rollout. Enable Adaptive Grid by setting the Adaptive Grid parameter to Temperature/Liquid. This option specifies which simulation channel will be tracked by the Simulator to determine when the size of the grid is to be increased or decreased. Adaptive Grid is a huge time saver - the initial grid is dynamically expanded to accommodate the movement of the fluids, cutting down on both processing time and memory. Reduce the Threshold value to 0.01. The grid will expand when the content of a cell near a border goes above this value. If you notice any clipping, you may increase the Extra Margin to a value of 5 - 10. The Extra Margin acts as a 'buffer' area for the Threshold - instead of looking at the cells right at the border, the Adaptive Grid algorithm will look 5 cells deeper within the simulator and expand based on the contents there. Select Enable Limits. The red box in the screenshot to the right is a preview of the Maximum Bounds for the simulation. Adaptive Grid is a huge time saver - the initial grid is dynamically expanded to accommodate the movement of the fluids, cutting down on both processing time and memory. This will add a few extra voxels at the borders during adaptation. The exact values for the X / Y / Z limits are X: [ 90 / 90 ] Y: [ 120 / 60 ] Z: [ 100 / 100 ]. |
