Does anyone have a good method of calculating center of buoyancy?
We've tried several different methods with mixed results. We have a multi-component assembly which contains flooded and sealed compartments. Shrink wrapping doesn't always work so well (parts won't solidify), or doesn't seem to give us a level of accuracy that is acceptable. We've also calculated the buoyancy on a part to part level, but that take a long time, and when designs are constantly in flux, multiple iterations can take too much time. Ideally, it would be great to have an analysis that could be run as a design is evolving.
I've heard that it's possible to use Behavioral Modeling, but I have found no literature in terms of using for determining center of buoyancy. If anyone has a technique or approach that has worked well for them, I'd be curious to hear the details of their solution.
