Does tyflow have this power? - shahinparsa1328 - 05-14-2023
Hi
How can the phenomenon of material bridging at the outlet of a hopper be simulated?
Note: This should happen without any tricks.
The following site has given a complete explanation about this.

Can I simulate with TyFlow?
Thank you

I think designing software is not suitable for simulating physics.
If you only present this effect visually, I think it can be presented in a "fake" way.

I'm not an expert on what material bridging is or what ultimately causes it at a molecular level...but it's not impossible to imagine a scenario where frictional forces on rigidbodies cause a bottleneck like that at the bottom of a funnel. In other words, it could plausibly be simulated with tyFlow, yes.

Please advise how to create maximum friction and pressure.

For example, I want this bridge mode to happen in a very short period of time. What settings are needed now?
Please help

Since you're in a hurry (and have no experience with Tyflow), why not animate an invisible object growing at the bottom of the container while the tyflow particles fall, to form this empty arc?
Sorry, but It's still unclear why you can't use any tricks..
