Is there a way to save a baked cloth simulation (in .blend file or to disc)?

Question

Is there a way to save a baked cloth simulation (in .blend file or to disc)? seams odd if you have to bake each time the blend file is reopened?

Answer 1

Save the file first, cache your simulation with AltA. then use Current Cache to Bake. Then use the Disk Cache option on Cloth Cache and save again:

Next time you open the file the cloth simulation will be there.

On the folder where the file is saved you'll see a new folder called blendcache_filename. If you move the blend file to a new location make sure yo move the blendcache folder to the same location.
