Can I Directly Calculate A Specific Frame?

[georgep1]

I want to get the state of my softbody geometries at the 6th frame. I need the actual geometry, I dont need the animation or a rendered image. There are a lot of softbodys and fields so it takes forever to wait for it to calculate the frames 1 by 1 until it gets to the 6th one. Is there a way I can just have it directly calculate the 6th frame to save some time?

thanks in advance.

No thats the downside of doing discrete simulation that depends on time. But you can probably make this mucg lighter to do by limitting what you calculate.

what if I were to just multiply each magnitude attribute on all of my fields by 6 and then just calculate the first frame? would I get the same result as I would waiting for the 6th frame but in less time?
