Wind Tunnel Simulation

[Cyberben3d]

Hi there,

Yes, this is completely doable. We even include a sample scene of a basic karman vortex street . I'm attaching a video of it.



The scene shows it in 2D for visualization purposes, but the same works in 3D (Obi treats 2D as 3D with the Z coordinate clamped to zero). This manual page might also prove useful to know how the scene was made:

Note that you can use HSDFs (hierarchical signed distance fields) for fast, accurate collision detection against complex arbitrary shapes:

Awesome, thanks! I bought the plugin and will try it out. Interesting about the HSDF's. That could be useful.
