Good morning!
I'm doing FE discretization of curve solids using tetrahedron elements.
The “meshed volume” results bigger than the geometrical one? It is possible?

Thanks

what is the discrepancy? how big is the FE volume and the CAD volume?

well it possible. Simply meshing an outward fillet adds volume & inward reduces volume. Did I make sense?
