# Compute Triangle Areas

## Group (Subgroup)

Surface Meshing (Misc)

## Description

This **Filter** computes the area of each **Triangle** in a **Triangle Geometry** by calculating the following:

    1/2*|AB||AC|sin(O)

where *O* is the angle between |AB| and |AC|.


### Input Data Objects

| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Parameter Notes | Description |
|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|
| Triangle Geometry | Geometry Selection | Triangle | The complete path to the Geometry for which to calculate the face areas |

### Output Face Data

| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Parameter Notes | Description |
|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|
| Created Face Areas | DataObjectName |  | The complete path to the array storing the calculated face areas |
