The "Resume Partially Cached Batches" option causes the ROP Fetch batch work item to check for existing output files as part of the work item job, before starting the simulation. It does that by looking at the output path for the frames in the work item -- it's not looking for .sim cache files for example. If it's a ROP Geometry it'll be looking for .bgeo.sc files on disk, etc. During that process, if it find files for frames 1, 2, 3 and 10 it'll start the simulation at frame 4 instead of frame 1, since it found a contiguous block of existing output files up to that frame.

There should also log messages in the work item itself when it does that, something like:

10:54:35.150: Report cached results for sub items 0 to 3 10:54:35.150: PDG_RESULT: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;0;/home/taylor/Desktop/geo/untitled.ropgeometry1.1.bgeo.sc;;0 10:54:35.151: PDG_SUCCESS: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;0;0.0 10:54:35.152: PDG_RESULT: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;1;/home/taylor/Desktop/geo/untitled.ropgeometry1.2.bgeo.sc;;0 10:54:35.152: PDG_SUCCESS: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;1;0.0 10:54:35.153: PDG_RESULT: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;2;/home/taylor/Desktop/geo/untitled.ropgeometry1.3.bgeo.sc;;0 10:54:35.153: PDG_SUCCESS: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;2;0.0 10:54:35.154: PDG_RESULT: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;3;/home/taylor/Desktop/geo/untitled.ropgeometry1.4.bgeo.sc;;0 10:54:35.154: PDG_SUCCESS: ropgeometry1_ropfetch1_34;3;0.0 10:54:35.157: Partial cook of batch from index=4 frame=5.0

I'll put together a more detailed example to include with the docs.
