Delete the initial state of a fluid

To delete the initial state of a fluid

  1. Select the fluid container.
  2. Select Fluids > Fields/Solvers > Initial State > Clear Initial State or click.

    Maya deletes the initialState_fluidShape node but does not delete the initial state cache file (in case it is being used by another scene). When you go to the start of the simulation, the contents of the container will be empty.
