Calculating the volume under an isosurface?

I am using one of the COMSOL tutorial models and I would like to know if there is a way to calculate the volume underneath the isosurface.

I am using the heat transfer radiofrequency ablation model. There is an option to view the isosurface/contours, but I would like to know how to calculate the amount of tissue underneath this isosurface.

Any help at all is much appreciated.

Hi

I have not fully identified the model you refer to but a volume or a surface is simply the domain/boundary integration of the value "1" over the defined domain/boundary.

If you now have a function f(x,y,z,t) defining an area you use a Bolean expression i.e. f(x,y,z,t)>0.5 instead of the scalar "1" and you get your volume/surface (or length in 1D)

Good luck
