Domain Stats Settings

This page documents the domain settings for the 'OpenFLIP Stats' panel.

Parameters

Info Display Mode	The type of simulation stats/info to display. Cache Info     Display stats/info about the entire simulation cache. Frame Info     Display stats/info about a specific frame.
Frame	Frame number to use when the Info Display Mode is set to Frame Info
Lock to Timeline	Lock the Frame setting to the current position in the Blender timeline. This setting is only active when the Info Display Mode is set to Frame Info
Export to CSV	Export the simulation stats/info as a CSV file.

Cache Info

Cache Simulation Stats

Completed Frames	The current number of completed frames and total number of frames in the current simulation.
Estimated Time Remaining	Estimation of how much time is remaining in the current simulation. This is a very rough approximation based upon on the compute time of previous frames and may not reflect the actual time remaining. This setting is only displayed if a simulation is currently running.

Cache Timing Stats

Simulation Step	The step of the simulation to display timing info about. See Simulation Steps.
Percentage	The proportion of time spent calculating a Simulation Step for all completed frames.
Time	The cumulative time spent calculating a Simulation Step for all completed frames.
Total	The cumulative computation time of all completed frames.

Cache Mesh Stats

Mesh Type	The type of mesh to display info about. See Mesh Types.
Size	The cumulative file size of all meshes of Mesh Type for all completed frames.
Total	The total file size of all meshes for all completed frames.

Frame Info

Frame Simulation Stats

Frame ID	The simulator frame number.
Time Step	The incremental change in simulation time over the entire frame.
Substeps	The number of substeps computed for the frame.
Fluid Particles	The total number of fluid particles at the end of the frame computation.
Whitewater Particles	The total number of whitewater particles at the end of the frame computation.

Frame Timing Stats

Simulation Step	The step of the simulation to display timing info about. See Simulation Steps.
Percentage	The proportion of time spent calculating a Simulation Step during the frame.
Time	The time spent calculating a Simulation Step during the frame.
Total	The total computation time for the frame.

Frame Mesh Stats

Mesh Type	The type of mesh to display info about. See Mesh Types.
Verts	The number of vertices that the frame mesh contains.
Faces	The number of triangles that the frame mesh contains.
Size	The file size of frame mesh.
Total	The total file size of all meshes for the frame.
