Not sure if there is a way to mark this as solved, but it is solved. In case it helps anyone...I had an assembly with a dome mating to a flange. Part of the flange surface was exposed to the water and part of it was not. When I selected the flange surface, I neglected to notice this. To resolve...
The part is symmetrical about the vertical plane, but not the horizontal and strangely enough I'm getting no net forces in the horizontal direction. Maybe it's a meshing issue. I'm going to try to tighten up the mesh and see if anything changes.
Thanks for all of the input.

Thanks Greg. Is there a way to adjust the spring variables under 'soft springs' I agree that the first thin to do is figure out this mysterious force. I double checked that all external surfaces are selected. I'll let you know if I figure it out.
Hi. I'm trying to run a simulation on a submarine at 1000ft of depth. I set it up using a constant pressure, but I'm having trouble with the 'fixtures'. In reality, nothing will be 'fixed' as it will be completely surrounded by water. I tried using the 'soft springs' option as well as adding...
