The Volume Ratio (Fidelity) examine metric is available when at least one block is selected for Examine. This metric is compatible with the Fidelity Adjacent Cell Volume Ratio metric.
For a given cell i, the volume ratio with a neighboring cell j is computed as follow:
ACVRj = max [Vi/Vj, Vj/Vi]
where:
ACVRj = Adjacent cell volume ratio between cells i and jVi = Volume of cell iVj = Volume of the adjacent cell jThe final volume ratio for cell i is computed by taking the maximum of all the volume ratios computed for each adjacent cell j:
ACVR = max [ACVRj]
This function is calculated across entity boundaries when adjacent entities are also selected for Examine.
Tip: The Volume Ratio function is an excellent diagnostic for finding cell size discontinuities at block interfaces.
