Store Named Grid Node

The Store Named Grid node stores a voxel grid inside a volume geometry under a specified name. This allows multiple grids (such as density, temperature, or velocity) to be contained within a single volume object and accessed later using the Get Named Grid node.

If a grid with the same name already exists in the input volume, it will be replaced by the new grid. This makes it possible to update or overwrite grids during a geometry node evaluation, for example when generating or modifying simulation fields.

Inputs

Volume

The input volume geometry to which the grid will be added or replaced.

Name

The name under which the grid will be stored in the volume. This name is used later to retrieve the grid using the Get Named Grid node or in the Spreadsheet editor under the Volume Grids section.

Grid

The grid to store within the volume. The grid must have a compatible resolution and transform with the target volume. The grid’s data type must match the node’s Data Type property.

Properties

Data Type

The type of data stored in the grid (e.g. Float, Integer, Boolean, or Vector). Determines the expected data type of the Grid input and ensures that the grid is stored correctly in the volume container.

Outputs

Volume

The resulting volume geometry containing the newly stored grid. If a grid with the same name previously existed, it is replaced with the new one; otherwise, the grid is added as a new entry.
