Data Structure: Geometry_volume
Description	Geometry volumes and associated definition data
Usage	Geometry_volume NUM=ival where ival is the data structure number

Description

Overview

The Geometry_volume structure stores the definition of a geometry volume together with the associated data including :

•Surfaces that define the volume

•Volume mesh if present

•Face table and background mesh element data

•Background mesh if present

•Mesh generation related data

Notes

•A Geometry_volume data structure is defined for each volume

•The Geometry_volume data structure may be updated during the analysis due to remeshing operations and geometry update operations; e.g. deposition, erosion, pinchout, etc.
