Measuring depth of object below water?
Hello!
Is there an easy way to measure how much an floating object is submerged into water?
While also taking into consideration that the mean water level changes dynamically.
Kind regards

Dear,
For my experiments, I need to determine the maximum draft of the "floatings", as well as the height above water of given points on my model.
To do so, I export in CSV the movement of the floating to get the heave of the center of gravity, and all the other 6dof motion parameter. As the geometry of my model is well known, it is easy to get, by trigonometry, everything I need.
To check the calculations, I compute the intersection of the output vtk file with any convenient plan, with py-vtk, and analyse their points.
Hope that will help.
Cheers
