Is there a sneaky little feature in IV8 that will tell me the gallon volume is of this tank??? Thanks for your help....

Andy, I don't think there is a feature to do this. I was able to find a work-around though (It is about 2.67 gallons). What I did was just delete all the faces in the model that were not interior faces. Then I created surfaces to "patch" the holes. Next, stitch the faces together to create a solid again. Just go to file-->iProperties--> Physical Tab --> Volume => 1.448E+003 in^3 I posted the model to Customer Files discussion forum if you are interested in seeing it. Subject: RE: Help!!

For what it's worth,
1 US Gallon = 231 cubic inches.

Another option is to use derived parts to subtract the tank shell part from a filled-in solid. Like Hugh's solution, the result is a part model of the tank capacity. You can then query the derived part to get the volume. Omitting the top filler/cap portion of the tank, I get 1423 in^3 with this method (about 6.2 gallons?). See ICF for a sample. -George "Andy Waldon" wrote ... > Is there a sneaky little feature in IV8 that will tell me the gallon volume > is of this tank??? > > Thanks for your help.... > > >

I redrew the tank and got the "Physical IProperties" of the darn thing....... Now.....how do i retrieve the volume with this formula?? Thanks for your help....

Andy, It looks like the model you have is the filled in tank. What you're after is the volume of the fluid capacity, right? If you want to use the method I mentioned, you need to start with 2 parts. One filled in, and one shelled to the correct thickness. Create a new assembly and place the 2 parts directly on top of each other. Next, create a new part and derive in the assembly you just created. "Subtract" the shelled part from the solid one. The result is a model of the fluid capacity. This is the volume you want.
