I'm trying to calculate the volume of a spheroid in water, in order to know what the displaced mass of water is.
I've tried using a sum report, with volume as scalar function. This calculates the volume of the liquid in the domain(surrounding water) just fine, but give me a very small value when the spheroid boundary(in Regions) is selected, maybe because the inside of the spheroid is empty in the mesh. Can anyone tell me how I can calculate the volume of the sheroid mesh? |

3d-cad has volume etc properties of bodies or you could mesh the inside of the surface and sum volume on that new region

Hello shammon,
how can I calculate the volume of water with a Scalar function? I calculate the volume with a Sum Report with the following Field Function: ${Volume}*${VolumeFractionH2O} is that right? |
