Compute Volume of Cubic element from coordinate

Hello Everyone

I'm trying to perform 3D Solid 8 nodes-FE analysis and I really need to calculate the volume of each Cubic Element.

The sample of picture are depicted below.

Suppose I have a Coordinates (x, y, z) per each node as

Coordinate = [  0   0   0;
                0   0   1;
                1   0   1;
                2   0   1;
                2   0   0;
                1   0   0;
                0   1   1;
                1   1   1;
                2   1   1;
                2   1   0;
                1   1   0;
                0   1   0]

and the corresponding Element connectivites with

Element =   [   1   2   3   6   12   7   8  11;
                6   3   4   5   11   8   9  10]

Please enlighten me to overcome this problem.

Thanks for your attention. I'm looking forward to your reply.

One way:

[~,volume(i)]=convhull(  Coordinate(Element(i,:),:));
