You're welcome. I hope we can solve the problem soon.
Could you repeat this test and save the DazStudio error report (there is an option in the error message of Studio crashing)?, send me the report to analyze it, please.
Attached my copy of Tutorial 1
Didnt crash this time?
Set as previous same bake dir all other settings as per file.
Log file attached
Sorry I should say that it didnt crash but did produce the error popup as usual runing sits on 2%.

Note: I only installed the 64 bit version of Fluidos and not the 32bit version, I take it that it shouldnt make any difference?
Okay. Different computer. Knowing what I know now, installation went fine. But now I have a new problem.
Everything seems to be offset from where it should be. See the attached screenshot...
Any idea why this would be happening?
Yes, your Mesher is offset from the Fluidos domain. You need to copy the translation values over to make sure they are identical between the mesher and the domain.

As THD777 said you have to reposition the Mesher. You can simply do the classic CTRL+C and CTRL+V to do that or use the Copy/Paste commands from the Edit menu.
Unfortunately this did not work for me. I removed the intel line from the two registry lists mentioned in the link, but when I looked for supported Open CL devices listed under dForce, both the motherboard GPU and the OpenCL via the CPU were both still listed. Not surprising Fluidos still did not work when using GPU
No, as your OS is 64 bit, you should install only the 64 bit version, as you did.
Your .duf file is right, I can run.
From your logs, it seems that there is a problem with OpenCL.
Is updated your driver card?, if not, please, do it.
Is dForce working well in your system?
And is it 32 or 64 bits?
For 32-bit machines or 64-bit apps on a 64-bit machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenCL\VendorsFor 32-bit apps on a 64-bit machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Khronos\OpenCL\VendorsI am on a 64 bit machine, but I changed both, and it had no effect.
Ah, that's good hint. I read the manuel wrong and addes the meshner to the domain.
However, I tried a cell size around 0.15 and a thickness around 2 and it still falls through. :(
Seems for me to be impossible to fill this flask with water
If I do a much smaller cell size my computer crash.
Gerster, your flask is static or it moves?
Static
So it's really odd!
But try this: create a new scene and load the flask you want to use. Once loaded, export it as OBJ disabling all the options in the right part of the extended export window about the groups and textures.
Now load the newly created flask and try the simulation on it.
Let us know!
I see you have a sphere as a fluid mass. Assure that the sphere don't touch the flask walls, let the more space you could between them.

Maybe this will work for you, which is to change from 0 to 1.
It works for me to restart DAZ Studio, but it may work for you if you restart your computer.
Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know how to simulate large bodies of water? The default Fluidos domain is only a couple of meters square and when I increase it to about 4 meters, it increases the calculation time exponentially, which is totally understandable. So how do I simulate enough water for a boat without the sim taking months to calculate? Do I increase the cell size or change the subdivision or smoothing iterations or what? I mean if I'm simulating waves hitting a boat, I don't need the same precision as pouring wine into a glass. Just wondering if anyone has already figured this out. Thanks for any replies.
You can reduce the boat size. Or, you could increase the Domain size and the cell size too.
Try to save Domain space, e.g., reduce the size Y if your fluid is mostly confined to the bottom.
Avoid deep water if the rendering only needs the surfaces. The shallower, the faster.
Ok. That makes sense. Another question. Is there a way to set a default value to the baked files folder, so I don't have to enter it every time? I always use the same folder.
Thanks for the answers and thanks for making a great product.
Yes I have already tried that aswell! I think as long as the on board graphics card remains in the list for dForce, then it has not been properly removed from the list. So far the only way this seems to happen (for me at least), is to disable the card in Device Manager. I had the same issue with my laptop as well, however for this I was able to disable the motherboard GPU and start up DS without it crashing.

Some ideas:
A way to have the system remember the folder your bake too.
A way to clear that folder from within Daz. I've noticed that simulations often overlap, especially if the later sim is shorter.
For ideas on tutorials, I've found it helps to have someone thats not the creator to make these. They can come at the process with a users eye that can often explain things that might seem granted to a coder. It's much like writing a book, the author gets an editor to proofread the book as they catch mistakes and grammer errors the writer would miss because they wrote it. :) There's a number of very talented tubers out there that im sure are going to break this great program down for the novices of us. It just takes time and soon im sure we'll start to see help emerge.
No, there isn't a default baked files folder.
But you can create a Properties preset for the Fluidos Domain:
Select the Domain. Set the Baked Folder you always use.
Go to "File - Save As - Properties Preset" menu.
This window will appear:
Uncheck "Include Shaping Setting in Presets". Do the same in Pose and Materials(s) tabs.
Go to the Other tab.
Check "Include Other Settings in Preset". Next uncheck "Fluidos Domain", and expand.
Expand "Main Settings" and check "Baked files folder"
Click Accept.
You have now a Properties preset only for the Baked folder. Aply to any domain you wish.
Thank you. Good points.
I like the seperate bake folders as it allows me to keep my bake files around inside a project directory per scene, and instance if i have multiple domains in a scene, until I'm happy without having to run the whole simulation again.
So im working on an end of summer scene with squirtgins to help learn some of the aspects of Fluidos.
Running into a few areas I could use some help with from others messing around with it. :)
Here's the test scene with settings...
First probelm I run into is the "cube". When I turn off "is cuboid" it takes the usual simulation time but nothing shows up in the mesher.
Also the "Preview" button is a bit confusing, you have to have it OFF to preview while its simulating, but ON in order to not see the preview while rendering. Seems backwards,
Next problem I'm having is breakage, in order to get the water to shoot like a high pressure spout I amped up the "x velocity" to 800 but with it that fast the particles are too spread apart to "metaball". Not sure which section increases the production of particles. Or if there's a way to reduce gravity, then I could reduce the velocity allowing the blobs to merge into a stream.
Lastly, Is there a way for the particle to increase in size as time/distance elapses? For a watergun the stream starts pin sized but as it gets further away pressure eases and the stream expands.
After I nail this one down it's on to recreating a still of a water balloon half exploded. :D
When you turn off "is cuboid", you get a sphere. This is some smaller than the cuboid, thus, if its radius is too little in comparision with the cell size, no fluid is entering through this source.
It could happen with high velocity. There are some ways to avoid:
This happens because the source is an ideal object without any friction inside. you could use invisible obstacles to disturb the water. But is easier to use the Diffuse particles option in the Domain. Next you will need two meshers, the ordinary one for the liquid mesh, and an another one to show the Diffuse particles (the last must have ON the Diffuse particles property).
