fumeFXcmd call

[radobe]

Hello,

i am having problems calling fumeFXcmd -loadSim.

I am getting following error:

fumeFXcmd -loadSim "Y:/test/v020/smoke_.fdc" "fumeFXShape1";
// Error: line 1: Invalid flag '-loadSim' //
// Error: (FumeFX) No node has been provided. //

Tried it in python too but did not work.

I have to add another question. Is there a possibility to force the fume container to update?
The reason is, i am trying to sim via command line, it does work with the default and wavelet sim in one go, one after the other, but the post sim after does not find the wavelet files, instead it uses the default sim. If i send of the job again and the files are there when the job is started everything works as it should.

Is there a way to force the container to update? I hoped i could fix it by using -loadSim.

These are the commands i am running right now, in "Pre render mel":


setAttr("fumeFXShape1.cache_type") 0;
eval("fumeFXcmd -runSimulation 0 \"fumeFXShape1\";pause -sec 5");
setAttr("fumeFXShape1.cache_type") 1;setAttr("fumeFXShape1.cache_type") 0; eval("fumeFXcmd -runSimulation 2 \"fumeFXShape1\";pause -sec 5");
setAttr("fumeFXShape1.cache_type") 1; eval("fumeFXcmd -runSimulation 3 \"fumeFXShape1\";pause -sec 5");


It works as it should, just not the Post Sim.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm sorry - it is the wrong name listed inside the manual.
It should be loadSimulation and not loadSim.

All commands can be listed with:

help fumeFXcmd

Thank you for the bug report.

As for the second question - both Wavelet and Retimer should be run only when caches they depend on are existing. If the script command you use are not executed in consecutive order but in parallel it will not work.
