You can speed-up the playback of your fluid effect by creating a fluids nCache. A fluids nCache file stores the resulting data from a solved fluid simulation. When you playback a cached fluid, Maya no longer has to take the time to solve the fluid simulation. Instead, Maya reads in the data contained in the specified fluids nCache file and plays the fluid effect rather than re-calculating the fluid simulation. nCaching your fluid effect has the following benefits:
You can create fluid nCaches for your effects from the Fluid nCache menu, and edit them from the Attribute Editor or the Trax Editor. For information about working with fluid nCaches in the Trax Editor, see Work with nCache clips.
