Two questions with Moov Physics

Can I simulate and caching Moov Physics with Maya Batch?

If simulation is possible with Maya Batch, is a license required?

Hi Yuji,

Simulation currently can only be performed through Maya GUI or with a script (MEL or Python). I will see if we can support batch evaluation. Could you please provide some more detail on your desired workflow?

Simply execute the simulation from the command line and caching.
End users will be pleased if a license is not required for command line simulation. But you have that judgment.

Thanks for consideration

So, to understand this correctly you'd like to use maya batch to:

  1. Load a scene
  2. Select the dynamics node
  3. Run simulation and record it to an .abc file

If so, this is already possible and license is not needed

It is the procedure that our customers want.

Simply do it with pre-render MEL?
Could you tell me the example MEL?

I'm sorry for the trouble.
