June 15, 2005, 19:55	Surface and Volume Integrals	#1
philippe Guest Posts: n/a	Hi, I'm using the surface integral and volume integral reports in Fluent. I would like to know how does Fluent calculate the surface area and volume (for a 2D) mesh. The mesh I use is a 2D rectangle (0.0635 by 0.3302)m^2. When Fluent calculates the surface area I get a value of 19.6 m^2 which is impossible. How come? Also how does fluent come up with a volume intergral when the mesh is 2D only. Don't you need to have a 3D mesh to be able to calculate volumes? If you know anything about these questions please let me know?
