Fluid Caching Issues

[Anonymous]

I am trying to render out fluids with nparticles. I am having extreme issues when I try to replace fluid cache. It basically just cycles through timeline and nothing shows up after it has cached. Then I get an error and maya quits.

I've build my file three times and every time I get the crash.

Here is the error I get.

I've gone through every forum and googling. Nothing fixes it.

Hi!

The error-message does not occur anymore with Maya 2018.3 here, also i am not sure if it's able to prevent the usage of cashes.

What version are you using?

Are you using an older scene from a previous version?

Anyway, i recommend to update Maya to the latest version.

For further help please upload a scene-file (maybe with reduced settings for fluid resolution, so it's  faster and easier to test)

Thanks, but I am using the latest version 2018. The scene was built in this version too.

Here is the scene.

Hi!

Yes, this error message was a problem of Maya 2018, but seems to be corrected in the latest version 2018 Update 3 (2018.3). Please install the latest Maya version.

Here the playback of the cached fluid works fine and is faster then without, so the cache is working.

I downloaded Maya 2018. I have the same problem that it says it is making a
cache but then it scrubs through very fast. When I play my particles do not
generate. In fact nothing happens.

It seems to be working when I do not check the disable evaluation in the
fluid tabs. I'm not sure if this is the correct way to get the fluid cache
​to work...

Hi!

You are right. Either the documentation is wrong or this feature does not work correct.

"Turn this option on to turn off solving during interactive playback. If there is a fluids cache present, Maya plays back the simulation from the cache."

Please report this problem (bug?) to Autodesk.
