Please help me to be able to upload and use Rebusfarm to render my my 3dsmax 2015 and Phoenix 3.0 sim

Good day evening or night
I have tried to use Rebusfarm to render a heavy water sim
however an error involving a variable $ , seems to stop any upload
and giving a general errror
Already contacted their support , and I don’t rally know How to
modify terms of simulation files and this is what I need a solution for
Transcript of what Rebusfarm support says :
-----------------------------------------------------------
error :stuck_out_tongue:
"PhoenixFD: “$” not allowed in input path. Use absolute path instead of “$(same_as_output)”.

This means, you have specified the location of an input (most likely your simulation sequence) with variables in the file path (anything with a “$” in the file path is a variable). This would not work on the farm. Please update these file paths to absolute ones (so, instead of “$(same_as_output)\filename.bin” use “D:\some\folder\filename.bin”.

If you are unsure where or how to specify input paths for PhoenixFD objects, please refer to the PhoenixFD documentation.

best regards / beste gr?sse,

Torsten

--------------------------
Please help me to fix that and go on using render farms to render Phoenix FD as I am on a deadline
Thanks in advance

Umm, what happens if you name your Output and Input cache paths the way the Rebus guys advised? E.g. set both to C:\cache_####.aur?

How do you do it step by step? I already calculated my cache for many many hours and didn’t enable resimulation
never use it for liqid simulations
Do I really have to start over my simulation ? better Render run it 16 hours for my CPU
or can I rename existing cache files ?
never had to name my .aur cache files before , sorry.
Please tell me How

Go to the input rollout and browse to your caches, then go to the output rollout and browse again :slight_smile:

Thank you
I hope I can rename it , or I just will create
a new suitable named cache, as you suggested
