When STI creates an average volume, it does so by computing the weight of the volume analytically, then dividing it by the volume's capacity... (i.e. what high school geometry teachers would call volume).  This is done recursively to sum up the weights of all daughter volumes.  The analytic calculation does not correct for overlapping volumes.  So we need to know whether this is a problem or not.  ROOT can calculate the weight of a volume by sampling.  I setup the STI code to compute both the analytic and sampled weight of each volume, in grams.  Sampling is done to 1% accuracy.

List of volumes with > 5% error in weight

Small number of volumes with an error > 5%.  PSHA and PSMD are significantly (x2) larger than they should be... but this isn't enough of a difference to cause a problem.
