First of all i wanna be sorry for such a late reply.... you could have get the answer to ur question now but incase if u havent then my answer will be helpful...

First u have to export it from 3ds max as a .sd file... then in realflow u have to import that file.... ur glass animation will be there.... play it once to check whether the animation is workin properly... if it does then add a circle emitter to that glass where the particle emerges from... then add a gravity field so that the particle can settle down.... once u have done this then simulate(ctrl+A) the timeline... in this case if the glass moves without carrying the water, then u have to enable lock key on the time line... so when u do that ur glass wont move anywhere until the amount of particle is settled inside the glass... if u think the particles what u created are enough then go to node params attributes and make the speed value to 0. so that the particles will die off.... then take out the lock from the time line and simulate it again and u could see that the particles moves with the glass object animation....

hope this will be helpful for ur question

for further more visual details i urge u to watch digital tutors for realflow basics

u could also download their tutorials from torrent sites like isohunt or mininova.org.... just search wat tutorial u need to download....

TWFK there u go... u should not export the file as a scene... you gotta export it as an object.... keep that in mind... there will be a default object folder in realflow folder.... u gotta export it in that
