In which space are external forces applied ? - lufydad - 25-02-2022

Hi,

I'm adding some external forces to particles based on documentation http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manual/6.3/scriptingparticles.html.
But, it's not specified in which space the forces are applied. I supposed based on the other variables, that it's applied in local space of the solver, could you confirm (or not) this information ?

Hi!

Yes, forces are (like all other vector quantities) expressed in solver space.
