Hi -

I'm trying to calculate the discretization error of my CFD simulations using Richardson's method as outlined in the Journal of Fluids Engineering:
http://journaltool.asme.org/Template...umAccuracy.pdf

I created my "2D" (one element deep) structured mesh using ICEM 12. If you observe Equation 2 (fourth page of the above link), you'll see that a representative cell size is required. Basically, I need the following parameters to solve the equation:

N = total number of cells
Ai = area of each cell (the i'th cell)
or...
Vi = volume of each cell

I know how to get N, but I don't know how to export a file from ICEM with the area (or volume) of each cell.

Is it possible to export a file from ICEM with the volume of each cell? If so, how?

Thanks for any help!
