Simulation Stop. Need help - jackytop - 05-23-2012
My Machine's got 36G Memory.
Fumefx simulation just stops as it gets to the frame 265 though I have enough Memory available.
I am still checking my memory and have no probem (20G more memory available yet)
Here is the log below

Hello,
Do you have enough disk space ?
What is your OS ?
Thank you

Re: Simulation Stop. Need help - jackytop - 05-23-2012
Os is Window XP 64bit and DiskSpace is 5 Terra bite and 4 Terra is available now .
I still can't find out the solution yet. Please ~

Hello,
It is hard to tell without the max file.
Can you send it over so we can see if it's reproducable here?
Thank you.

We had the same problem here, solved it by un-checking the "Ability to Stop/Continue" option in the preferences dialogue box.

I was having a similar issue, except it would not save out the state of the SIM and I would have to restart the simulation all over again. Also, I use a script to run multiple containers one after the other, and this bug/issue would terminate the script from moving onto the next container. Is there a better fix than turning off the "ability to start/stop simulation" option?

Ah! Thanks for that info Geoff!!
I will try that.
One more problem here is flickering!!
Smoke Render flickers all the time. Is this bug gone in 3.02 patch ?
Re: Simulation Stop. Need help - sitnisati - 06-27-2012
Works fine here all the time - no flickering.
Any clip you can post ?
Thank you
