About this Block

What it does: The Surface Area block calculates the surface area from an implicit body by evaluating the surface integral or a mesh by calculating the sum of the surface areas of all mesh facets in case of mesh.
Tips
  • Use a Mesh input for calculating surface area of thin surfaces instead of an Implicit Body
  • Accepts any mesh type as an input (Surface, Volume, Multiple meshes, etc)
  • Decreasing the relative error input will increase the accuracy of the calculations and the calculation time.
