An IDOC is an acronym standing for “Independent Domain Of Computation”. The idea behind IDOCs is that you can perform multiple simulations within a single scene, but on different machines:

  • An IDOC can contain more than one node and these nodes are able to interact.
  • Nodes from different IDOCs are not able to interact.
  • Individual IDOCs are sent to RealFlow's → "Job Manager" and then simulated on the available network computers.

IDOCs are mainly used in conjunction with → Hybrido's secondary elements (splash, foam, bubbles, etc.), but they are not restricted to this type of fluids. It is also possible to use IDOCs together with → Dyverso fluids, → Caronte simulations, or → standard particle emitters.

 

Four IDOCs, represented as green boxes, are used to simulate splash particles.

Quick Start

We have created a short tutorial where you will learn how to make use of RealFlow's IDOCs in a Hybrido simulation with splashes:
