Hi,
when multypling dvol with the corresponding correction factor (Triangle : 1/2; Tetrahedron : 1/6; Prism : 1/2; Pyramid : 1/3) and summing up the result over an entire domain (using the evaluation with Gauss points as described just above), you end up with the correct volume of this domain. So this variable represents a physical quantity, even if it is not obvious.
