Lagoa Init Curve

Sets data required by the Lagoa framework for deforming curves.

To apply: See Deforming Geometry Directly with Lagoa [Lagoa Multiphysics Simulations].

Tasks: Lagoa/Element Creation

Output Ports: Execute

Enable

Enables this compound.

Emitter

Init at Frame	The frame on which data is initialized. You can use this to control the start frame of the simulated deformation.
Global Time	If this option is on, Emit at Frame is relative to the scene's timeline. If it is off, the frame is relative to the simulation range set in the Simulation Time Control Property Editor.

Simulator Settings

Node Type	Make sure this is set to Real. The other values are available for future functionality.
Cluster ID	Sets the cluster for points on the connected object. Points in different clusters will not attach to each other during the simulation.
Constrainable	Determines whether points can make contact links or be constrained.
Phase	Sets the phase for points on the connected geometry. Different phases on different geometries allows you to use different Lagoa materials.
Initial Force	The local XYZ components of the initial force for points on the connected geometry.

Topology Map

Resolution Map

How size is computed for collisions, etc.

Automatic computes the size based on the average distance between neighbors.
Manual uses the Thickness value below.

Thickness

The size to use when Resolution Map is set to Manual.

Closed Curve

Simulates the curve as if it is closed, so that the two ends of the curve are considered connected. If this is not enabled, the last point and first point will be considered beginning and end of a curve, respectively.
