Simulation threads, substeps, frame rate, CPU load, and simulation speed are important variables in conjunction with RealFlow. First, letLet's clear up the relations between all these terms.

...

  • lengthsubstep = 1 / ( 400 * 300 )
  • lengthsubstep = 0.0000083 s.
  • So we have a much higher precision: 0.0000083 s vs. 0.0001333 s

 

In order to get the same precision as before, substeps can be decreased:

  • In this example, the FPS rate has been increased by a factor of 16.
  • Therefore, the number of substeps can be calculated as 300 / 16 = 19
  • So with 19 substeps and 400 frames per second fps we get the same level of precision as with 300 substeps and 24 fps.
