Hello,
i setup a particle simulation. When i look at ipr, all is good. When i render a single frame from the simulation (it doesn´t matter, wicht frame) all is good. But when i render a framrange from 1 to 40, all frames are complete black. Where is my mistake? It render also too fast. So as there is no information to render. When i render a single frame, it took about 10 seconds per frame. When i render animation, it took one second per frame

You have to have at least one particle spawned in frame 1 in order for the sequence to render. You can just render from whatever frame the particles are first spawn and your gonna be just fine.

Yes, sorry. This is a known limitation. Any objects without geometry or particles are filtered by the plugin and excluded from the Octane scene. If this happens in the first frame, later the plugin can't update them.
