Mesh.enclosed_volume()#

Return the total enclosed volume of a Mesh.

Returns#

float: For a volumetric Mesh (level=3), the total volume of all elements is returned (see volume()). For a surface Mesh, the enclosed volume is returned if the surface is a closed orientable manifold surface. Returns 0 in all other cases.
