Hello,
I am starting a project including long FLIP simulation.
I would like to keep sim data to be able to resume the sim but
the sim data files are just too big and fill my disk space too fast.
I suppose I need only the sim data to the current frame I want to resume so
I would like to know how to delete the sim data files at “frame -1”.

Is there a way to use a pre render script for that ?

Thanks for your help.

the explicit cache parameter on the dopnet does exactly this. just set it and choose the number of sim frames from the current one you want to keep. i usually keep 3, because the newest one is sometimes corrupt if it crashes in the middle, and its nice to have a buffer of 1.
