Water Object

[]

WaterObject is the main script of DWP2. It handles all the buoyancy and hydrodynamics calculations.

WaterObject gets the data needed for simulation from the Simulation Mesh. This is a static mesh that will be used for simulating water/object interaction and can either be the original mesh or a simplified version of it. WaterObject provides basic tools for mesh triangle decimation, removal of co-located vertices, and convexification - if needed.

• When using hollow boat/ship hulls it is recommended to use the ``Convex`` option when generating the simplified mesh.
• WaterObject density should be above ~15kg/m. Large volume, extremely low mass objects can cause the object to jump/fly away when falling into the water.

To get info about individual fields hover the mouse over the field and a tooltip will pop up.

Check WaterObjectManager page for more info about instantiating WaterObjects at run-time.
