Function compute_volume 

Source 
pub fn compute_volume(
    local_vertices: &[CartesianCoordinates],
    elem_type: VolumeElementTypes,
) -> Option<f64>
Expand description

Computes the total volume of a given volume element by summing the volumes of its tetrahedral subdivisions.

§Arguments

  • local_vertices - A slice of the 3D coordinates of the element’s vertices.
  • elem_type - The type of the volume element (e.g., Hexa8, Penta6).

§Returns

An Option<f64> containing the total volume if the input is valid. Returns None if the number of vertices does not match the element type.
