PF Tools Box#2 & Box#3
A bunch of Particle Flow Tools Box#2/Box#3 R&D. If/when I can remember more scene specifics, I’ll update the page. I did included some scene files with a few of the tests, it is not guaranteed they will work with the final version (in fact I know few won’t) if you want an updated version of a specific scene that I have supplied a file for, drop me an email.
More up-to-date stuff on my Vimeo Page

Any for ductile?
Ductile iron pipe, I assume? No, I would need to see an example of it break before I could recreate it. That is if you are indeed serious in your inquiry
