How to access the force information in flex? #138

Open CWEzio opened 5 months ago

CWEzio commented 5 months ago

I am currently working on a project where I need access to the force information in cloth simulations. Specifically, my goal is to retrieve detailed data on two key aspects:

  1. Contact Forces: The forces exerted on the cloth during interactions with other objects or environmental factors.
  2. Internal Spring Forces: The forces within the cloth itself, which are critical for understanding its behavior and deformations. In my research, I came across a paper that uses an internal version of Nvidia Flex, capable of providing the contact force information. However, in the publicly available version of Flex, I have not found an API or method to access this level of force data.

Could you please inform me if there is a way to access this information in the current public version of Flex? If not, are there any plans to include an API or feature in future updates that would allow users to retrieve such detailed force data? Thank you for your help.
