Returns the volume of a mesh above or below a specified reference plane.
Input Arguments
0 |
Collection Object Name |
Mesh |
Name of the mesh to consider |
1 |
Collection Object Name Ref list |
Plane |
Reference plane used for the computation |
Return Arguments
2 |
Double |
Above |
Computed volume above the plane |
3 |
Double |
Below |
Computed volume below the plane |
Returned Status
SUCCESS |
The volume was computed successfully. |
FAILURE |
The mesh or plane were not found. |
Remarks
If the mesh is complete and fully encloses a volume, and is not intersected by the reference plane, the full enclosed volume will be returned either above or below based upon the position of the mesh with respect to the plane.
If the plane bisects an enclosed volume the volume above and below the plane will be reported.
If the mesh does not represent an enclosed volume, then the volume reported will represent the volume between the mesh and the projected triangles on the reference plane.
