Restore sim on the network

[pieforme]

Is it possible to send a restore sim to the network? for example I want to sim from the middle of the sequence but on the network.

Thanks

Thanks what about resimulation on the network. Couldnt find one for that.

Depends on how you are sending the sim, but for example if you are using phxfdBatchSim(), you can replace it with phxfdBatchResim(). Check this page of the docs: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...BatchScripting

Cheers!

We submitting to deadline from 3ds max.

You should just enable the resimulation checkboxes - either saving the scene beforehand, or during the actual submission from maxscript. Can you tell me more about your workflow, and also are you simulating liquids or fire/smoke?

I tried just clicking the resimulation button and sending it but it failed for some reason. I will give it another try. We are simulating just smoke for an ink in water type effect using bodyforce as well. I have a couple of medium res sims 60 million voxel but we need it to be around 90 for the look we want, when i sim at that res the movment and final shape is different ,I think its the way the bodyforce acts on higher resolutions thats causing the problem. I am trying to upres some of the low res ones that were more succesful.

When i send to deadline with the resimulation ticked, It says the job is complete no error messages and no frames saved. I check that the inputs and outputs are correctly set . I have velocity and wavelet channel saved.

Ok that seems to be cause the filename didnt have the _####. would be good if deadline would report it as failed or give the correct error msg. seems to be resimming now fingers crossed.

So it did one frame and said it was complete.

I cant make it resim more than one frame on the network.

What happens after the first frame is resimmed? Is there something in the log, seems to be working fine in here?

Theres no error msg it just says completed. I have sent it again to specific machine that has more RAM lets see how that goes.
