Volume Calculator¶

General purpose volume calculator. Find fill heights based on input fluid volumes. Optionally apply the fluid height to the model.

Location¶

The Volume Calculator form is found on the following context-specific toolbars:

  • Free Surface/Fluid Height Box

  • Immiscible Two Fluid/Fluid Height Box

  • Main Lattice
