Adding new objects to a FLIP initial state

[Adamman28]

I'm pretty new to Houdini.  I simmed a FLIP fluid for a while and I created an initial state out of it, but now I need to add more geometry to one of my collision objects.  I reloaded the geometry in the SOP and it brings in the new geo, but it's not updating in my DOP network.  I'm assuming this is because my initial state does not have the new geometry in it.  Is there a way to get the DOP network to pick up this new geometry and use the initial state?

 

Thanks

Any body give a idea to do this... I am also having the same doubt...  Idont want to create a new Thread for my doubt... Need to know..

Actually you can use a standard sim frame to do that, no need to use the .sim format with initial state. Simply save your initial frame from the standard workflow, and from the FLIP object fetch that frame as a sop input.

I used Explicit cache (Desired Frame) as a initial state for my simulation.... I am little bit confused about your statement, I may miss understand and little bit detailed information would be nice... 

 

Thanks In Advance....

Solved.... But if i use the frame as sop input (fetch data) partial particles missing. Works fine with options "Particle field & File" thanks for the informations...
