Fluid sim cache: how to read bobj and bvel files

Support Particles and Physics Simulations

Hello everyone,

I would like to open and read the .bobj and .bvel files that are created in the cache by the bake function of the fluid simulator.
But I have a very hard finding info on how to open them properly, and even more on their internal structure.
Could you give me a hint on these two aspects ??

Thanks a lot,
Gauthier

Dear Gauthier,

I’m also interested in opening the bobj and bvel files in another program. Have you found the solution?

Thanks,
Clark

The functions for loading the .bobj files can be found in the Blender source code if you’re willing to look through it. Take a look at ntlGeometryObjModel::loadBobjModel() in ntl_geometrymodel.cpp
