Hi Arturo,

You are right that the issue is caused by it acting on triangles.

With a quad mesh, I've found it gives much better results if instead of using the standard triangulation (which chooses one of the 2 possible diagonals arbitrarily and often asymmetrically), you add a point in the centre of each quad and split it into 4 triangles. This is now very easy to do using WeaverBird's 'Stellate' component with a distance of 0. The same applies to the wind and pressure forces.
