The Get Streaming Geometry Cache Frame node
When to use it
Grabs one frame out of a streaming geometry cache as an ordinary mesh, so any static mesh node can work on a single moment of an animation. The archive opens once and stays open, so stepping frames costs one read each.
Per-frame sculpt deltas set upstream by Geometry Cache Sculpt are folded in automatically, so what you get is the edited frame rather than the raw archive sample.
