elephantinc, why not?
maybe a app that's specifically made to deal with simulations is better, but i don't see any reason yet as to why it can't be done in Maya... It wouldn't be Maya alone though, you'd need python, or make a c++ plug-in rather than a script
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D
