Thanks Shuangxing Du for attending my query. 

(1) They are tube elements 

That is also there. The disc element was not there initially, so I tried giving it a try to see if there were any changes. In the data file shared, there were two tube elements. I have only one tube element. is it reason for the change. The weight of the pipe is 4800 t, actual displacement is matching with the same. but the equivalent displacement is of volume displaced, which is different. Do I need to add a point mass corresponding to the difference in weight? The material of the pipe is not steel.

2.

This is how my tube definition comes

 

when we click on the part line body

This is the problem.
