In Cycles, I’d like to use the fluid system sim for one water drop and render 100’s of water drops using the particle system.

Is it feasible to use the particle system on a “physics sim”?

Because the answer may be different between Cycles and Internal, I’m posting it here but will also post in the Particles/Sims Forum.

Thank you for your help in advance.
