Liquid volume not interacting with rigged models?

[alessandromastronardi]

Here attached a Maya 2017 sample scene where I have a cylinder currently interacting with the liquid volume (mesh deformation and splashes), and the same cylinder rigged, which is passing through the liquid volume without producing any interaction at all (animation of the rigged cylinder is performed translating the root joint).
I couldn't find any information about this issue: all the objects are set to interact with the volume.
Could you please take a look at what's wrong? Thanks

Thanks for the scene! Will check what's wrong.

Got it! You can workaround it right now by changing the Motion Velocity mode to 'Per Vertex' on either the rigged model or in the simulator's Scene Interaction rollout, but there was an issue where in this mode the body will produce way stronger force than it's supposed to, so you better get tomorrow's nightly (May 29) and set the mode to Per Vertex there.

Thanks very much for reporting this!

Thanks for the fast response and fix, it works really great now (donwloaded and tested May29 nightlies as well).
