  The only way I know that you can reliably scrub through a dynamics simulation is by using a Mograph Cache tag. This tag will “bake” in the animation, so you can then go to any frame and see what it would look like at that point. One thing to note though… if you change something about your animation, you need to clear the cache and then re-bake it. If you forget to do this, you will become very frustrated wondering why the viewport hasn’t updated your animation to reflect the changes you just made..
