how to move solver with local space simulation - phields - 16-04-2018

Hello, I want change solver's position in runtime to simulation a small water pool.
Is there any way to do that?

Why do you want to change the position of the 'Solver'?

You can set the Solver to simulate in local space if that's what you want, but by default the Solver will simulate particles in world space.

This is Obi's forum page about the Solver: http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutorials/obisolver.html

The solver is essentially just the component which performs the Physics simulations, if you want a pool of water I don't understand why you'd need to move the Solver?

Hi,

As Tim pointed out, it makes no sense to change the solver position in a fluid simulation. Fluid is emitted by an emitter, and once it is out in the scene, it is simulated by the solver either in world or local space, that's it. You cannot move fluid around like a transform, if that's what you're going for.
