hi all,

i'm an architecture student who is investigating on form and behavior. specifically i'm using particles to simulate a crowd's movement so that they're bounded within a geometry and react to various attractors. i saw the POP spreadsheet that each particles position/rotation/acceleration… values are all tracked and i'm wondering if there's a way to source those values out so that say i can link each particle's values to the vertices of a grid.

the theory behind this is that by simulating and understanding the behavior and patterns of a crowd, and through establishing a direct relationship between the occupants and the environment in the conceptual stage, form can be more optimized to its use.

hope this is not too confusing. TIA
