Fluid Generated by STL format

edited February 2015 in Old versions
Hello

I am trying to create a space full of fluid particles defined by a STL file, i.e. a set of fluid particles in the air with a shape of the STL file and but no boundaries around.

.xml file is like this

setdrawmode mode="full"
setmkfluid mk="0" name="Monkey"
drawfilestl file="mypath\Monkey.stl"
drawmove x="2" y="2" z="2"
drawfilestl

The problem is even with mode=''full'' , the program still only gives me a set of particles only on the surface of the STL file, as if I was using mode=''face''.

I have checked the integrity of my STL file and made some pre-defined simple STL geometries from blender, but the problem stayed whatsoever.

I guess the cause is from xml file but I cannot find a good explaination.

Your help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  • You can not create a filled region using STL.

    What you can do is defined the limits with STL and then use the function fillbox to fill it with fluid particles

  • I see, thank you very much!
