I have to make a trapezoidal bowl which normally, according to my calculations, should contain 750ML while the software tells me 44983.16mm3 or 450ML.
My piece is made up as follows:
140mm square base
50mm height
And 160mm square top edge.
1mm thick.
So I don't understand why Solid tells me such a mistake in containment.
Can I adjust this setting and if so, how do I do it?
Thank you very much.
Hello
In your file the internal volume is not created so not calculated, if we do it we get an interior volume is 1 081 683.50 mm3!
So more than expected!

Hello
Coyote is right, sSolidWorks calculates only the volume of the parts, not the vacuum.
So we have to create another piece that represents this emptiness.
How did you do the Coyote boss? A boss with draft or a combination by subtraction?
Because I made a boss to the next surface and I get a slight difference with your result. It's not much (Volume = 1126.67 cubic centimeters) but it's surprising!
Have a nice day
Hello Matthieu,
I did like you extrusion to the next surface!

Thank you very much!
I managed to solve my problem. I'm a beginner on Solidworks and I have to make a lot of objects for my company.
