Fluid simulation doesn't work if domain is in larger than 64x64x64m .

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Does work
    • Create a new file
    • Create a cube if deleted the default one. (Its current dimension are 2x2x2m) let's call it Small Cube
    • Don't scale it or do anything with it, Just press Shift+D (Duplicate it)
    • Scale the second cube, almost 10x (dimension are 20x20x20m) - let's call it Large Cube
    • Large Cube is selected -> Physics Properties -> Fluid -> (type: Domain) + (Domain Type: Liquid) + (Cache -> type: Modular)
    • Select the Small Cube -> Physics Properties -> Fluid -> (type: Flow) + (Flow Type: Liquid) + (Flow Behavior: Inflow).
    • Select Large Cube and hit -> Physics Properties -> Bake Date
    • It does simulate water.
  • Doesn't Work
    • Same set as above
    • Select the Large Cube and Scale it almost 32x (dimension are 64x64x64m)
    • Select the Large Cube and hit -> Physics Properties -> Bake Date
    • It does not simulate water.
  • Does Work
    • Select the Large Cube and Scale it almost 31x (dimension are 62x62x62m)
    • Select the Large Cube and hit -> Physics Properties -> Bake Date
    • It does simulate water.

TIP : You can also scaleup the particle size ... in Particle Properties -> Liquid -> (Viewport Display) size

Please find the attached fluid_issue.blend file. and simulate 3 different Fluid Setups with three scales 20x20x20m (Working) / 62x62x62m (Working) / 64x64x64m (Not working)

I'm sorry.. Please ignore this bug or issue. This was my fault.... the resolution division were limited to 32... I raised that and it started simulating now.
