Synopsis

runup [-cache] [-fromPreviousFrame] [-fromStartFrame] [-maxFrame time] [-state boolean]

runup is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

runup plays the scene through a frame of frames, forcing dynamic objects to evaluate as it does so. If no max frame is specified, runup runs up to the current time.

MEL examples

    runup -mxf 10 -cache;

// Starts at the minimum start frame of all dynamic objects
// and plays through to frame 10.  This guarantees that the system
// is in the same state it would be as if you had rewound and played
// forward from frame 0.  The state of the dynamic object(s) will be
// cached after the runup.
