catchyid Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi, What's the difference between these two nodes? Both can export a sequence of mesh transformations and store in a file sequence (e.g. .$F.bgeo), they have even have some common parameters. Usually, I would have a dynamic simulation that I want to save its result. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 in ROPs you can chain a number of outputs together to create a dependency network - the file cache would require a different approach and the Output drive can't import geometry - so different operators for different uses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanostol Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 but You can combine them, by fetching the ficecache nodes with a fetch into rop. If You work in sop, You can write out, if You want to wire dependencies You can switch to ROP network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchyid Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks I am not sure what you guys mean when you talk about "dependencies"...I will check the documentation when needed Thanks more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanostol Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 dependency means that one caching node needs to be evaluated before the next one starts. You often have situations, where sometimes parallel processing is possible, and sometimes it needs to be sequential 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
