Fluid Object Settings

This page documents settings for fluid objects.

Parameters

Trigger Mode	The frame offset that the fluid object will be added to the simulation domain. Frame Offset     Trigger the fluid object a frame offset from the first frame of the simulation. Timeline Offset     Trigger the fluid object at a frame in the Blender timeline.
Fluid Velocity Mode	The method in which the initial fluid velocity will be set. Manual     Set the initial fluid velocity vector manually. Target     Set the initial fluid velocity vector towards a target object.
Fluid Velocity	The initial fluid velocity vector (in m/s). This setting is only available if the Fluid Velocity Mode is set to Manual.
Fluid Speed	The initial fluid speed towards the target object (in m/s). This setting is only available if the Fluid Velocity Mode is set to Target.
Target Object	The target object that will be used to calculate the fluid velocity direction. This setting is only available if the Fluid Velocity Mode is set to Target.
Export Animated Target	Export the target object mesh as an animated one. This setting is only available if the Fluid Velocity Mode is set to Target. TIP: Animated objects can be slower to export, so use this option only if necessary, such as for armatures or parented objects. Objects with keyframed position/rotation/scale do not require this option to be enabled.
Add Object Velocity to Fluid	Add the object velocity to the initial velocity of the fluid. The object mesh must be rigid (non-deformable) for this option to work correctly.
Export Animated Mesh	Export the fluid object mesh as an animated one. TIP: Animated objects can be slower to export, so use this option only if necessary, such as for armatures or parented objects. Objects with keyframed position/rotation/scale do not require this option to be enabled.
