Follow these steps:

  1. Place a ‘ChaosCacheManager’ actor to your level.
  2. Select the ‘ChaosCacheManager’ actor in the outliner.
  3. In details panel create a new ‘Cache Collection’.
  4. In ‘Observed Components’ add your Geometry Collection and make sure to give it a ‘Cache Name’ else the cache will not be stored.
  5. In ‘Cache Mode’ select ‘Record’ and then simulate your Chaos destruction in the viewport.
  6. After simulation ends, stop simulation and select ‘Play’ in ‘Cache Mode’.
  7. Add the ‘ChaosCacheManager’ track in the sequencer and add its ‘Start time’ track.
  8. Put keyframes for beginning and end and it should play the cache.

Hope this helps!
