teddy28 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Sometimes the .sim files won't work with error "Tried to load an invalid simulation state file" At first I guess it might related to file size. But I had this error in 4gb, 6gb, and even 9gb, 11gb .sim files. And recently I met this error in the middle of simulation. For example, error in frame 45-65, but return to be normal in frame 66 to the end. I just create a sphere with default pyro shelf explosion. And change the division to 0.035. Can anybody help to solve this problem? Many thanks!! P.S. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9. I have tried to simulate in 10.8.3 as well. But the error still the same.

teddy28 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 are you running out of ram? Thanks for reply My machine got 64gb ram. I guess it should be enough for the simulation. And it will happen in the middle of simulation also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 its worth looking at the Activity Monitor to see how much memory is being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodini Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 what build of houdini are you on? I had this happen before but it was a permissions issue, where my houdini process was owned by a user that didn't have write permissions to the directory i was saving to.
