Surface area, volume test after voroni - clasyc - 06-01-2020

Can someone explain why red circled fracture has a bigger surface area than pink ones? Same goes with volume.

Are you sure that little fragment is not an attached element of a larger particle? You can confirm using a Display Data operator to see its ID and surface area.

Yes that was the case, sorry for the dumb question. Somehow I assumed that Voronoi automatically defractures every element.

On concave input geometry, that's not always the case.

You can use the Element Fracture operator to split mesh elements into individual particles.
