velocity overriding forces in particles? Oct. 10, 2016, 7:14 a.m.

The force is added to the velocity. The particle is advected by the velocity (in other words, v is added to P). Force is reset to 0.

I find it easier to control when adding to the force. That way it doesn't accumulate over the duration of the sim (which is what happens when you add to v since obviously it doesn't get reset to 0 at the end of each timestep).

Could be your CPU throttling to avoid overheating ? Maybe check your temperatures ?

Mantra is a CPU renderer - your GPU has nothing to do with it.
