How to force MassFX simulation to finish before next line in MaxScript is executed

[Anonymous]

In 3ds MaxScript 2020 (run on Win 10) I have a loop

for i=1 to 50 do

(

-- do something A

PxRunSimulation()

-- do something B(i)

macros.run "PhysX" "PxResetSimMS"

)

Unfortunately, B is executed before simulation ends. How to prevent it? I mean, how to force B to wait until simul is finished? I tried this

         while PxIsSimulationRunning(true) do ( )

but Autodesk freezes. I'm 2 weeks beginner of 3ds so please be forgiving (=extra clear) in your answer. Thx

Thx Istan but I remain clueless (looked at Interface:nvpx->Simulation, found only a few functions which did not help me, or maybe I was using them incorrectly). I found another solution which is ugly (I’m afraid I won’t be able to run this script in a batch mode)

for i=1 to NN do

(

                -- do_something_A

                for k=1 to 100 do

                (

                                PxStepSimulation()

                )

                --do_something_B(i)

                macros.run "PhysX" "PxResetSimMS"

)

What I’m trying: fill a box (static) with NN copies of the same part (dynamic) dropped one by one. I’m interested in the final still distribution of parts (which I export to outside) not in live simulation per se.

Any idea for better solution ?
