Hello

with the attached fiel I have tested the trustbility of the volume mesurement of SpaceClaim. Parallel I have caculated manually a cylinder with a length of 59.8 m and a radius of 9.5 m. The calculated volume was 16,954.3 m3. After crating the object in 3D I mesured a volume of 16,955.19 m³ in Spaceclaim.

After adding two semi-spheres at both ends of the cylinder the combined volume was 20,546.56 m³ but must be 18,750 m3.

What is the problem?

Best regards,

18,750 - 16,955 = 1,795 m3.  That's the volume of 1 hemisphere.  The 20,546 m3 includes both hemispheres, so the SC measured value is correct.  (sphere v = 4.18879 * r^3)

Hello Christof Schramm The volume of 1 hemisphere is 1795.7125 m3. The volume of cylinder only is 16954.8481 m3.

So, the 20,546 m3 includes both hemispheres & cylinder and the SC measured value is correct. Please check the attached video demonstrating the above calculation.
