RealFlow Preferences

The pages of the → "Configure" section give you a quick overview of the most important settings and how to set up RealFlow quickly.

But, there is also an extensive preferences section under File | RealFlow > Preferences:

Preferences are global and valid for every scene. Most of the simulation-related parameters can be overwritten for each new project, e.g. under → "Simulation Options" or RealFlow's → "Scale Options".
The window is subdivided into several topics which are accessible via the tree structure on the left.

Below you find direct links to the individual parameter references with detailed explanation:
