Weakness

mohammedlamine's picture

Hi all,

There are several formulae allowing the computation of tetrahedral volume elements. The weakness of some of them is that they give negative volumes. This is due to the vector dot product and its direction. You must take care when using them.

You have to check your formula with some simple examples like the vertices of the following one: (1,0,0) , (0,1,0) , (0,0,1) , (0,0,0).
