Houdini 20.5 Nodes APEX nodes

sim::GetGeometry

Returns the geometry from a simulation object or a relationship’s subdata.

On this page
Since 20.0

The geometry is returned at the simulation engine’s current time, so this is intended to be used in the engine’s pre-simulation step graph. The sim::EvaluateAtTime node should be used to evaluate the output geometry from the simulation at a particular time by performing any necessary simulation.

Inputs

engine: ApexSimEngine

The simulation engine to query.

rootdata: ApexSimRootDataId

The unique ID of an object or relationship in the simulation.

dataname: String

The name of the geometry subdata. This may contain slashes to refer to nested subdata. If not specified, this defaults to Geometry.

Outputs

geo: Geometry

The geometry from the specified subdata. This is empty if the subdata is not a geometry type.
