Volume from surface meshes in Leapfrog Works

ManfredThuering

Hello

Is it possible to create a volume which is defined by other intersecting meshes? I would like to know the volume of rock which is defined by a couple of surfaces that I can define by planes that I convert into meshes.

How would I do that in Leapfrog Works?

I manage to cut a mesh with another (Meshes - Mesh Operations - Clip Mesh) which gives me however a correctly cut mesh but which is open instead of closed by the bordering meshes I used to cut that mesh).

Thanks, Manfred

Hi Manfred,

This is definitely possible in Leapfrog Works. The easiest way is to create a Geological model and use the meshes as input surfaces.

This webinar talks about how to do this: Technical Tuesday: Creating Cut and Fill Volumes from Excavation Designs and Geological Models - Videos (seequent.com)

Thanks,

Richard
