I'm trying to 'bake' the fluid dynamics calculations for a simulation of fluid being rotated in a drum. The calculations take something over 48 hours (I have yet to see them concluded), and my power supply is erratic. I would like to be able to resume the calculations on resumption of power, rather than having to start again from scratch. I don't use any command line options at the moment. I believe there is a way to do the bake headless, but I get errors. I might look at that, though. > What version of OpenGL library are you using?
