Roller Coaster simulation - Access to forces?

by Ola Jaensson

Sep 17, 2013

Hello again,

Is it possible to somehow read the velocity and applied forces of the simulation particles from the ParticlesOut output of Kangaroo? Or is it only the point location that is accessible?

I'm trying to make sure my roller coaster doesn't kill the riders with too high g-forces and get some hints to where to put supports.

This is not what I aim for: euthanasia coaster

    I suppose it's not possible, then.

    Any other way to access more properties of the particles in mid-simulation?

      Hi Ola,

      I've added a way to get per-particle forces - it will be in the next released version
