object/surface/property test one flow to affect another - ttdww - 10-26-2021
simple example: how to test for particle shape in one flow and use that data in a 2nd flow. such as testing if a group of particles have suddenly become inside another particle's shape from another flow.
have normally done this with: surface test / inside, but can only get it working with 1 mesh and 1 flow, and need it to work with 2 flows.
it's only after you've (1) toyed with this on and off for weeks, and then (2) finally posted to the forum, that you find a workaround..
in this case, solved the current issue using the tymesher trick to enable the 2nd tyflow to behave like a mesh object so i could do a surface test on it. would be great to find another in-flow way to treat flows like meshes for doing testing, etc.
if there's a way currently, let me know. thanks!
