Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22000-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 511.65

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.2, branch: master, commit date: 2022-03-31 17:40, hash: rBcc66d1020c3b
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Using Swedish characters in path to Liquid Cache prevents cache from being generated.
Folders are generated correctly but no simulation data.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Open new file, select default cube, choose Quick Fluid

Set cache path to "D:\Users\tmp\Blender\ThisWorks\" or similar, english characters only.
This will work when running the simulation.

  • Repeat above, change path to

D:\Users\tmp\Blender\ThisDöesNotWork\
(Note the umlaut character 'ö')

Run simulation again. Folders are created under this path, but no simulation data (empty 'data' folder) , and simulation particles do not move.
Windows allows Swedish characters in all file paths, so this is a problem.

Hope this info is useful,
Thanks :)

Hi, thanks for the report. This is a known issue: T76140: Cache-folder name makes fluid simulation not working
