How to Extract volume of fluid inside Shell Geometry in ANSYS SPACE CLAIM
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Everone,

I am new to ANSYS.

I have Shell Body Transformer (attched in picture). I want to extract Oil volume (inside volume) of the Transformer as shown in figure. I followed some tutorials online but I am not able to extract/calculate the volume of my Complex Transformer geometry.

It is showing error about something solid geometry.

I want to compare inner volume of transformer (in no load condition) and deformed inner volume of deformed transformer geometry (in different load condition) (p.s. Transformer wall expands during running condition).
****
this is after deformation
I have deformed geometry (I have exported from solution -> deformation and as a ''stl file'') which I have imported into ANSYS Space Claim and from Reverse engineering tool ''skin surface'' command and created solid shell geometry. And I will save this deformed geometry in STEP file and planning to measure inside fluid volume in the transformer.
*****

But Transformer (in no load condition - I have imported STEP file of the assembly in Space Claim).
**Attached photo - is from Transformer in no load condition.

So Basically I want to measure the Inner volume of shell body Transformer (Which I have opened in Space Claim from STEP file).

ANY IDEA how to extract/find/calculate this volume in ANSYS SPACE CLAIM ???
