I have recently become involved in an offshore project where weight underwater is critical, does anybody know if and how pro-e can handle this requirement or of a suitable manual method?
Could you be more specific about your question. What do you mean with Weight underwater is critical. Are you talking about the pressure of the water exertin on a object?
For your material densities, just reduce the values by the density of saltwater to get their weight underwater. If there are trapped gases, those weights will need to calculated using the density of saltwater and subtracted from the solid weight (unless Pro/e can handle negative densities). You can probably use the assembly merge operations to get the volume of the trapped air.
I found this on one of the posts there by a person called quinterow,
"Besides Pro/Mechanica for structural analysis, BMX is used for calculating bouyancy centres, waterlines and righting moments for boats, in BMX course there is an excersise for this. "
