Push disperses a cloud of particles
The Push space warp applies a force to either
particle systems (page 2–104) or dynamics systems
(page 2–663)
. The effect is slightly different,
depending on the system.
• Pa rti cle s: Applies a uniform, unidirectional
force i n a positive or negative direct ion. A
positive force moves in the direction of the p ad
on the hydraulic jack. The breadth of the force
is infinite, perpendicular to the di rection; you
can limit it using the Range option.
• Dynamics: Prov ides a point force (also called a
point load) away from the pad of the hydraulic
jack icon. A negative force pul ls in the opposite
direction. In dynamics, applying a force is the
same as pushing something with your finger.
