Hi,

```
        I have started simalation of ncloth at frame -55. This cloth has a dynamic constraint. ( component to component). When the simulation crosses frame 0, the constraints shift to another point and hence what I see is what I do not need. How is it possible to make the simulation go smooth.
```

BRgds,

This should work. I assume you set the start frame to -55 on the nucleus node. If you had an existing cache that started at frame 1 it might explain the problem... it would simulate until frame 1 then the cache would take over. (delete the cache if this is the case)
