Volume Ratio and Area Ratio are available when blocks or domains are selected, respectively, for Examine. They are both calculated in the same manner as follows:
max [Sizei/minSizej, maxSizej/Sizei]
where:
Sizei
= Area or volume of the cell iminSizej
= Minimum area or volume of the adjacent cell jmaxSizej
= Maximum area or volume of the adjacent cell jThese functions are calculated across entity boundaries when adjacent entities are also selected for Examine.
Tip: The Volume Ratio and Area Ratio functions are excellent diagnostics for finding cell size discontinuities at block and domain interfaces.
