FluidFlowSettings(bpy_struct)

base class — bpy_struct

class bpy.types.FluidFlowSettings(bpy_struct)

Fluid flow settings

density
Type:

float in [0, 10], default 1.0

density_vertex_group

Name of vertex group which determines surface emission rate

Type:

string, default “”, (never None)

flow_behavior

Change flow behavior in the simulation

  • INFLOW Inflow – Add fluid to simulation.

  • OUTFLOW Outflow – Delete fluid from simulation.

  • GEOMETRY Geometry – Only use given geometry for fluid.

Type:

enum in ['INFLOW', 'OUTFLOW', 'GEOMETRY'], default 'GEOMETRY'

flow_source

Change how fluid is emitted

Type:

enum in ['NONE'], default 'NONE'

flow_type

Change type of fluid in the simulation

  • SMOKE Smoke – Add smoke.

  • BOTH Fire + Smoke – Add fire and smoke.

  • FIRE Fire – Add fire.

  • LIQUID Liquid – Add liquid.

Type:

enum in ['SMOKE', 'BOTH', 'FIRE', 'LIQUID'], default 'SMOKE'

fuel_amount
Type:

float in [0, 10], default 1.0

noise_texture

Texture that controls emission strength

Type:

Texture

particle_size

Particle size in simulation cells

Type:

float in [0.1, inf], default 1.0

particle_system

Particle systems emitted from the object

Type:

ParticleSystem

smoke_color

Color of smoke

Type:

mathutils.Color of 3 items in [0, inf], default (0.7, 0.7, 0.7)

subframes

Number of additional samples to take between frames to improve quality of fast moving flows

Type:

int in [0, 200], default 0

surface_distance

Height (in domain grid units) of fluid emission above the mesh surface. Higher values result in emission further away from the mesh surface. If this value and the emitter size are smaller than the domain grid unit, fluid will not be created

Type:

float in [0, 10], default 1.0

temperature

Temperature difference to ambient temperature

Type:

float in [-10, 10], default 1.0

texture_map_type

Texture mapping type

  • AUTO Generated – Generated coordinates centered to flow object.

  • UV UV – Use UV layer for texture coordinates.

Type:

enum in ['AUTO', 'UV'], default 'AUTO'

texture_offset

Z-offset of texture mapping

Type:

float in [0, 200], default 0.0

texture_size

Size of texture mapping

Type:

float in [0.01, 10], default 1.0

use_absolute

Only allow given density value in emitter area and will not add up

Type:

boolean, default True

use_inflow

Control when to apply fluid flow

Type:

boolean, default True

use_initial_velocity

Fluid has some initial velocity when it is emitted

Type:

boolean, default False

use_particle_size

Set particle size in simulation cells or use nearest cell

Type:

boolean, default True

use_plane_init

Treat this object as a planar and unclosed mesh. Fluid will only be emitted from the mesh surface and based on the surface emission value.

Type:

boolean, default False

use_texture

Use a texture to control emission strength

Type:

boolean, default False

uv_layer

UV map name

Type:

string, default “”, (never None)

velocity_coord

Additional initial velocity in X, Y and Z direction (added to source velocity)

Type:

mathutils.Vector of 3 items in [-1000.1, 1000.1], default (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

velocity_factor

Multiplier of source velocity passed to fluid (source velocity is non-zero only if object is moving)

Type:

float in [-100, 100], default 1.0

velocity_normal

Amount of normal directional velocity

Type:

float in [-100, 100], default 0.0

velocity_random

Amount of random velocity

Type:

float in [0, 10], default 0.0

volume_density

Controls fluid emission from within the mesh (higher value results in greater emissions from inside the mesh)

Type:

float in [0, 1], default 0.0
