I have an assembly of a makeshift hull, and I have computed the hull's waterline. I've made an extruded cut to remove all material above the waterline. I want to compute the surface area that is exposed to the water, but the surface area calculation from mass properties includes the top of the assembly, which I don't want (as it isn't actually exposed to water).
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I would accomplish this outside of adding up the surface area's of each individual surface? Eventually I will need to programmatically find this result using the Creo Toolkit, but for the moment am just trying to accomplish it manually.
Your help's appreciated.
