FLIP Fluid Object Types

This page lists the different types of FLIP Fluid objects that you will use to setup your simulation. Click on an object type to view detailed documentation of the object's parameters and tips for how to use the object.

Set a Blender object in your scene as a FLIP Fluid object by clicking the FLIP Fluid operator in the Blender Properties editor under the Physics tab and setting an object Type.

Object Types

Domain Object	This object will become the simulation domain boundary and will contain many parameters to control how the fluid is simulated, displayed, and rendered. The domain should be a cuboid shaped object and aligned to Blender's X/Y/Z axis'.
Fluid Object	Fluid objects convert the mesh shape into liquid that is added to the simulation.
Obstacle Object	Obstacle objects are solids that the fluid can interact with.
Inflow Object	Inflow objects are fluid sources that continuously emit liquid into the simulation.
Outflow Object	Outflow objects act as a drain that removes fluid that enter this object.
Force Field Object	Force Field objects generate forces to repel or attract fluid.
