well fluids are not as easy to understand as aehm ... split polygon tool. fluids is not just a simple tool, but a complex system. the amazing thing about fluids is not the many properties, but that it is a physically correct model.

when you read a bit in the manual and did not understand it at all, feel free to ask. i believe though that it has more than enough information to get you started. and it shows you step by step how to setup certain things in fluids. i am not sure that anybody here at simplymaya has enough knowledge about fluids once you reached the level that the manual is not deep enough on its information.
