Volume mesh

Volumetric meshes are a polygonal representation of the interior volume of an object. Unlike polygon meshes, which represent only the surface as polygons, volumetric meshes also discretize the interior structure of the object.

Applications

One application of volumetric meshes is in finite element analysis, which may use regular or irregular volumetric meshes to compute internal stresses and forces in an object throughout the entire volume of the object. [1]

Volume meshes may also be used for portal rendering.

gollark: Of course.

gollark: As such, you can reduce your costs by using the osmarks.net servers, which can idle constantly while serving multiple websites at once.
gollark: Anyway, for, let us be honestly honest, something which is probably not a high-traffic website, you don't need a full server which will just idle constantly.
