Volume of body inside a solid

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to find the height of liquid inside a model of a 1mL tube for a certain volume and start height (ipt attached), with the following variables:

• The lower height of the liquid can vary and hence needs to be able to be adjusted (in the attached file, this height is set by a plane with it's height offset a parameter).
• The volume of liquid can vary, so the volume must be able to be set as well (again, set as a parameter).

From here, I'm not sure of the best way to create the liquid volume inside the tube and how to ensure it depends on the above two variables. I have searched and found other examples of using iLogic and parameters to achieve a set volume, however they did not involve the volume being inside a solid.

Any help or suggestions for this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A start could be creating a new sculpt with internal surfaces and two workplanes

This might get you started with the parameters (if I understood correctly your question):

For V3, model it as separate part and check the volume - hope your final liquid levels are not going to be within this zone, where calculating the volume using parameters gets a bit more complicated due to the shape of the pipette...

V = V1+V2+V3

(and of course, in real life there are liquid meniscus at each end of the liquid column, depending on the superficial tension of the liquid and material of the pipette... )
