flip fluid cache

[aksdrv]

 Hello, I am working on flood sim,i want to simulate the main flip, and use cache files to simulate whitewater faster, without having to re-sim the main flip. Can anyone describe this workflow detailed in Houdini 15.5, or create a project file with this setup? 

i'm exporting my simulation cache using an "Rop_Output_Driver"

Just use a shelf tool and you will see magic)))

dude i already simulated fluid but for whitewater i am confused with cache

 I basically want to simulate my particle fluid, export the simulation cache, and then read the base fluid cache to simulate whitewater.

White water references the compressed cache. This is the first cache I generate. I don't keep .sim files. After I generate the compressed cache I generate the surface cache for the fluid. If you change the sim in any way, you have to regenerate both caches. So I work out the basic flow of the fluid at a high particle separation then lower the particle separation and generate caches.

i did that but still with whitewater, base fluid also resimulating

[aksdrv]

can anyone explain detailed workflow for generate whitewater without resimulate base water

Did you remember to click the check box. Load From Disk after you generated the FileCache? For both Compressed and Surface cache.
