You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. *************************** Introduction to Mesh module *************************** .. image:: ../images/a-viewgeneral.png :align: center **Mesh** module of SALOME is destined for: * :ref:`creating meshes <about_meshes_page>` in different ways: * by meshing geometrical models previously created or imported by the Geometry component; * bottom-up, using :ref:`mesh edition <modifying_meshes_page>`, especially :ref:`extrusion <extrusion_page>` and :ref:`revolution <revolution_page>`; * by generation of the 3D mesh from the 2D mesh not based on the geometry (:ref:`imported <importing_exporting_meshes_page>` for example); * :ref:`importing and exporting meshes <importing_exporting_meshes_page>` in various formats; * :ref:`modifying meshes <modifying_meshes_page>` with a vast array of dedicated operations; * :ref:`creating groups <grouping_elements_page>` of mesh elements; * filtering mesh entities (nodes or elements) using :ref:`Filters <filters_page>` functionality for :ref:`creating groups <grouping_elements_page>` and applying :ref:`mesh modifications <modifying_meshes_page>`; * :ref:`viewing meshes <viewing_meshes_overview_page>` in the VTK viewer and :ref:`getting info <mesh_infos_page>` on mesh and its sub-objects; * :ref:`remeshing meshes <adaptation_page>`; * applying to meshes :ref:`Quality Controls <quality_page>`, allowing to highlight important elements; * taking various :ref:`measurements <measurements_page>` of the mesh objects. There is a set of :ref:`tools <tools_page>` plugged-in the module to extend the basic functionality listed above. Almost all mesh module functionalities are accessible via :ref:`smeshpy_interface_page`. It is possible to use the variables predefined in :ref:`Salome notebook <using_notebook_mesh_page>` to set parameters of operations. Mesh module preferences are described in the :ref:`mesh_preferences_page` section of SALOME Mesh Help. .. image:: ../images/image7.jpg :align: center .. centered:: Example of MESH module usage for engineering tasks **Table of Contents** .. toctree:: :titlesonly: :maxdepth: 3 about_meshes modifying_meshes grouping_elements about_filters about_quality_controls adaptation measurements viewing_meshes_overview smeshpy_interface tools mesh_preferences using_notebook_smesh_page
