(This module has been deprecated. Its functionality has been surpassed by the volumetrics module.)
General Module Function
The volume_integrate module is used to calculate the volumes of the entire field input. The input data to volume_integrate must be a three dimensional data field output from Krig 3-D (with or without geology) or any subsetting module which outputs three-dimensional data (such as plume_volume, threshold, cut, & cell_crop). The results of the integration are updated each time the input changes.
To calculate a plume volume: connect Krig_3D (or Read_UCD, etc.) to plume_volume. Set the plume level in plume_volume and connect plume_volume to volume_integrate. Without using plume_volume volume_integrate will give the volume of the entire field's domain. In general volumetrics will give more accurate results and should be used instead. The exception is when multiple serial subsetting operations are to be performed.
Module Input Ports
The volume_integrate module has only one input port, which accepts a 3D data field from Krig 3D, Read UCD, or any of the modules that output 3D fields. The user must remember that if the data have been scaled by any modules upstream of volume_integrate (i.e., in Explode and Scale), that the resulting calculations will reflect that scaling. One or more plume_volume module(s) (in series) can be used, for example, to subset the mesh based on kriging confidence levels (to provide mass estimates only for those regions in which nodal values have been modeled with a given confidence level) or any other parameter(s).
Module Output Ports
volume_integrate has one output port that exports the volume in your user units cubed.
Module Control Panel
The control panel for volume_integrate is shown above. Note that if your input field has specified units (like feet) the results will show that.
