Hi, 

I try to simulate lava. My problem is that kind a hard to find the right settings for it .. i wish there where a better documentaion especialy from the flex force drop down .. what exactly does Viscosity, Drag, Lift and the both plastic slider doing? 

and I got a certain question .. with the particle speed I can pretty nice control the speed but as soon there is 0a blob of particle falling down own its own i want it to accelerate until it hits the surface or the rest of the mesh again. 

thx 

 

 

If you hover over these settings you should see a brief description of them. By particle speed do you mean the limit speed? If so, this is a global setting and you should only use it to ensure simulation stability. Generally you can use the iterations and substep count to improve stability and blob behavior.
