I would like to calculate the volume of my mesh (blocking were used to create the mesh).
I know ICEM is unitless, but I ensured that mesures were in meters. So as an example, for a cube, I know the volume is given by "length x length x lentgh". But I would like to calculate the volume throught the mesh or the blocks. Do you know if it's possible and how I could achieve that ? |

I think I found how to do this.
- Create a part with the blocks you want to calculate the volume of. - Convert the blocking to unstructured mesh. - Right click on the created part ("Parts" in the display tree) -> Info. |

Yes volume of mesh = volume of geometry.
I took a very simple example of a cube, but my geometry is far more complexe than a cube |

These were just funny lines. cannot you select the particular (or all) block(s) and get all the info? |
