Issues with Primary Visibility

[blacksmithingben]

I'm working on a scene that has a fluid simulation in Maya. I have rendered everything but the fluid simulation, and I would like to render the simulation on a separate layer. I have tried using Primary visibility, but I can not get the geometry in front of the simulation to cover the fluid.

Hello,if you still have this problem i will try to help you,as first did you tried to matte object ? I would try that to get result as you describe in post.It will make black on parts where objects cover simulation.And that you can use later in comp to finish.I wish that this will help you.
