  • Convert water simulation from m to mm

    Hi there!

    I have made a simulation using 1unit=1 meter. However, all my project and everything I receive from clients are made in mm. I was thinking, is there a way to convert the phoenix fd simulator to mm? I don't want to resimulate nor I need to change anything in the simulation. I just want the simulation to be correct in the scene in mm. I have tried to import it and let 3dsmax to make the conversion but that doesn't work. Scaling the simulator again didn't work, (meshing doesn't work). Is there anyway to convert this?

    I am speaking about a ship in ocean simulation type.

    Thank you!

    Hey,

    Just so we're on the same page - you create a scene where 1 unit = 1 meter. Then you create another scene where 1 unit = 1mm and you import the previous scene. Is this the case?
    Just scaling the simulator should work. The mesh that's not working - is it just in the viewport or in the render as well? Which Phoenix and V-Ray versions are you using?

    Can you send us a scene so we can check it?

    On another note for simulation and scene units, check out this page - https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/PHX4MAX/Liquid+Grid
