Floating Body

Hi, there..
I have a problem with modeling a concrete caisson which has some compartment in it.
When modeling I'd like to see floating motion of caisson, and adjust ballasting for measuring initial static stability of the floating body, but water is already in the caisson which should be hollow in it.
How can I solve this problem?

I wanted to reach out because I noticed you were facing a similar issue to one I'm currently experiencing. I'm also trying to model a hollow floating body and obtain the response of a hollow floating body, but I seem to be encountering a similar problem. I was wondering if you managed to find a solution to this problem or if you have any suggestions on how to approach it. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
