Definition

An instance of this DRM class is a component of an <Aggregate Geometry> B, where B represents a 'body', such that if B is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid, the <Location 3D> specified by B's <Centre Of Buoyancy> is a point where the force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by B acts upon B.

Example

1. Consider a <Model> S providing a geometric representation of an ECC_SAILING_VESSEL as follows, where the srf_parameters of the <Model> are specified to be LSR 3D.

            <Model>
            <>
            ----------------------------------
            |                                |
      <Geometry Model>             <Classification Data>
           <>                      tag = ECC_SAILING_VESSEL
           |
      <Union Of Geometry Hierarchy>
           <>
      ------------------------------------
      |                                  |
    (geometric representation)  <Centre Of Buoyancy>
                                         |
                                <LSR Location 3D>
   

   If S is instanced in a simulation where S is considered to be floating on water, the effects of the force of the water upon S can be computed for the < Centre Of Buoyancy> to determine how they apply to S as a whole.
