Behavior

If true pass through all simulation data from the previous to the next simulation step. Needs to be evaluated before the rest of the simulation step.

Use case

Skip individual frames/steps in the simulation based on some heuristic and replace this kind of setup in a much more convenient way:

UI

Name: Pass-through
Default: False
Position: 1st

This is definitely a "convenience" feature, and the need might be lessened with some improvements to the switch node (arbitrary number of sockets?). But it also makes sense, and doesn't seem to interact with other convenience sockets we talked about in the past like "Start", "Stop", and "Ended".

When using the simulation nodes several times now it felt like this was missing multiple times already. and to me it's something quite integral, so even with the multi input switch that would still require you to manually add connections, especially those that go all the way from input to output and make the tree less readable.

And generally vs start/stop this seems to me to be the most intuitive way of doing this. If we still decide to add others later, that should be compatible.

Thanks, makes sense! In the future, it's helpful to have this sort of context in the design/todo task itself.
