Subject

Areas are superficies of two-dimensional shapes including flattened or expanded surfaces of three-dimensional bodies, the properties of which can be predicted using well-known formulas.

Projected areas are those that describe the shape of a shadow that would be projected onto a flat surface by a parallel light source shone from behind a three-dimensional body and is used to define the shape factors of bodies such as for Fluid Forces.

Volumes are amounts of space occupied by three-dimensional bodies, such as blocks, prisms and spheres, the properties of which can be predicted using well-known formulas.

Volumes calculates the surface and projected areas, volumes and principal dimensions of regular 3-D shapes such as tori, spheres, circular and elliptical cones, barrels and prisms of innumerable of sides.

Whilst the term ‘prism’ generally refers to regular pyramidal and conical volumes, you can create truncated prisms with parallel sides in the areas and volumes calculator by entering identical dimensions at both ends. In which case, you can also calculate the properties of a cylinder or right-regular-prism of up to 1000 sides.

The output data generated by Volumes can be exported to CalQlata's Fluid Forces calculator.
