Implicit Body, Vector Field, Scalar

About this Block

What it does: The Surface Integral block integrates the values of a scalar field over the domain of the surface of an implicit body. Decreasing the relative error input will increase the calculation’s accuracy, but will increase the calculation time. Common uses:
  • Computing the area of a surface
