Resimulate script

[Drughi]

Hi!

I want to share a little shelf tool script wich is pressing the Reset Simulation Button for you while beeing in a Dopnet or Solver. I found it to be very useful. 

Hope it is helpful to someone. If you have suggestions on doing it in a cleaner, better way - let me know. I'm still learning Python.  

Cheers!

#Resim by Johannes Heintz
import os
path =  hou.ui.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.NetworkEditor,0).pwd().path()
test = 0

while test < 10:
    test += 1
    node = hou.node(path)
    if node.parm("resimulate"):
        test = 10
        button = path + "/resimulate"
        hou.parm(button).pressButton()
        print "WORKED"
    else:
        path = os.path.dirname(path)

here's another way

hou.currentDopNet().parm('resimulate').pressButton()

Ah cool! Thanks. Didn't know this function. Good to know, but good for dops only.

which is interesting since a solver is a dopnet + bottom right it is selected as the current one. maybe a bug? RFE it?

you can also press P in the scene view and it will bring up a parameter window displaying the top level parameters of the dopnet. Then just press reset simulation

Nice! But it seems this also doesn't work with sop solvers.

yeah unfortunately it does not work with sop solvers, which one can wonder about..
