The FEM Hybrid Object can now be used to simulate isolated points (Particle tab) and polylines (Rod tab). This tool uses the same quality criterion that's used by the FEM Solver. Inverted tetrahedra can be tracked down as well. FEM Validate can be used to visualize the quality of tetrahedra and polygons, and allows poor-quality primitives to be isolated. This SOP can be used to inspect tetrahedral or polygonal meshes before running an FEM simulation with these meshes. Moved pdg examples from $HH/pdg/examples to $HH/help/files/pdg_examples Fixed a hang when using the RMB -> Generate Node option on a TOP node with both dynamic and static input nodes, which are in turn connected to the same static processor node The 18.5 release adds a number of features, including new cloth and fluid simulation tools, also updates the Solaris shot layout and look dev toolset, Karma renderer, plus game development plugins.


SideFX has released Houdini 18.5.351, the latest update to its procedural toolkit.
