Hello, 
I would really like to thank you for your help. I needed to access it through another account, but I'm still the same user who asked the initial question. The code is working properly and calculating the volume well for SOLID186 quadratic elements, but in the case of tetrahedral elements the calculated volume is incorrect. Any ideas on how we can get around this situation?
