I may be totally wrong but isn’t ‘SimulatedFrameFaction’ the amount of time for
each simulation step – so time divided by steps.
I believe I have come across this SimulatedFrameFaction inside one of the
factory compounds, but which one?
the first ones that come to mind are ‘state’ and ‘simulate particles or rigid
bodies’ or perhaps ‘bounce’. or wasn’t there a simulation root with integrated
states?
as a hack you can just create it
I’d go for a scalar value of 1 and save it as self.SimulatedFrameFaction (per
cloud not per particle I’d say) and see if this helps?
that said – you might not really need a state machine!
you can get a lot done by just adding an integer value as per particle data and
using conditions based on this data.
get data > self.mystate > if = 1 > execute ... (I hope that’s not too cryptic?)
the ‘case’ node is particularly useful for this – plug self.mystate (integer
number) into condition and add as many case inputs as states you want – and
plug execute nodes in there.
think of each execute node as a hub for all you want to do with a particular
state – set data (set color to see what’s happening!), add forces, filter,...
anything really. changing states is as simple as setting self.mystate to some
other number and next step it’s done.
The cool thing is that this plays nice with your regular simulation, while the
state machine can interfere and change behavior (perhaps precisely because of
this simulated frame faction)
I imagine you have islands in your mesh that have to switch between paper and
cloth based on some condition? that approach should work fine for that. (if the
‘simulate mesh’ can work on a designated part of the mesh – I don’t know if it
does)

Subject: SimulatedFrameFraction on polymesh ?
Hi list,
I'm doing some paper/cloth simulation using "Simulate Mesh Using Verlet
Integration".
I'd like to work with States / State Machine, but this needs a
"SimulatedFrameFraction".
I don't know how to compute this, or even if I could have it available for
polymesh.
Does someone know how / where I can grab that data "SimulatedFrameFraction" ?
Any help apreciated !
