19.7. Volume Result

You can scope this result type to bodies and elements, either through direct geometry or element selection or using direct geometry-based or element-based Named Selections. You can also scope the result using the Result File Item option. The default setting for the Scoping Method property is Geometry Selection and the Geometry property is set to All Bodies. The Volume result displays the Total volume of your scoping as well as the Minimum and Maximum volume of all elements that result from the loading. This result is useful for visualizing the volume of elements when structural loading is applied.
