I am trying to recreate a hollow container, animated being filled with water.
Without actual liquid simulation in Visualize, I was thinking of having a water appearance and a solid body matching the internal shape.
This would work great if cutting planes could be set to only cut selected bodies, and thus by moving and revealing/ filling my “water”. However this cannot be done.
Do you have any other ideas of how I could show water filling up?
Are animated appearances possible? Or will I need a different piece of software?
I have also tried, animating the texture mapping of a water appearance and using a cavity to create a changing body inside Solidworks, but this cannot be taken into Visualise
Are you looking for realism or just the general flow? If it’s more of a “Simulation” I can see doing this with motion and showing the water with a bunch of tiny spheres. I’m not sure if there are material properties you could set that would make the spheres react more like water than solid material though.
Been struggling with this problem for the best part of a week, with hardly anything useful found. Seems to be little out there in the way of a Visualise community
If you could find the animations and link, that would be very helpful!
Just not the right software for this. There might be some possibility down the road for Visualize to start adding dynamics but for now you’d do better using a software like Blender (which is free) that already has this kind of capability right out the box…
