Why when cloning liquid simulator its output changes ?

Why when cloning liquid simulator its output changes ? I'mean both of 'em change path.

What version of Phoenix are you using? Is this Max or Maya?

[Paul Oblomov]

Latest. max. That behavior is about several months from today. So, literally it is not build number dependent

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yup, if you clone or instance a simulator, $(scene_path) or $(scene_dir) macros in the simulator's paths get deconstructed into their building blocks, respectively:
$(dir)\$(scene)_Phoenix_frames\$(nodename)_####.au r
$(dir)\$(scene)_Phoenix2_frames\ND$(handle)_$(node name)_####.aur

If this did not happen, the copy/instance would be empty without a loaded cache, because $(nodename) is different for the copy, and $(handle) is different too.

Is this a problem for you?

[Paul Oblomov]

They are both changes. The one that is a source for the copy and the copy itself.

I'm not sure whether it is a problem or not
