Description

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 i
minSizej = Minimum area or volume of the adjacent cell j
maxSizej = Maximum area or volume of the adjacent cell j

These 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.
