The Determinant, more properly defined as the relative determinant, is the ratio of the smallest determinant of the Jacobian matrix divided by the largest determinant of the Jacobian matrix. In this option, the determinant at each corner of the hexahedron is found. The default range is 0–1 with a Determinant value of 1 indicating a perfectly regular mesh element and 0 indicating an element degenerate in one or more edges. Negative values indicate inverted elements.
