Incorrect Volume calc in Fluent -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

February 26, 2002, 13:57	Incorrect Volume calc in Fluent	#1
mark Guest Posts: n/a	Guys Does any one know the exact method used by Fluent to calculate their cell volumes. I have a pyramid which Fluent thinks is negative but it is very much positive. If I rotate the cell through 45 degrees about the x-axis and then reload into fluent, it thinks it is fine !!! I heard that they use 1-point Gaussian Quadrature to do their calc, but I need more specifics to reproduce their values. Thanks Mark
