Starts the Simulation
Right click to choose which simulation to start if more than one simulation is present in the scene or if you'd like to connect them in a Sequence to run one after the other.

Pauses/Resumes the Simulation.

Stops the Simulation. Note that you can stop a running simulation using the Shift+Escape key combination, or with the Escape key, if the option to do so is enabled in the PhoenixFD Global Preferences.

Continues a simulation from the currently viewed frame on the timeline, or the latest Backup frame containing the full simulation state up to the current timeline frame, which is controlled by the Backup Interval parameter in the Output rollout.

Deletes the Cache Files of the selected simulator from disk.
Right click to choose which simulator cache to delete if more than one simulation is present in the scene.
