\n \b MESH module of SALOME is destined for:
<ul>
<li>\ref importing_exporting_meshes_page "import and export of meshes in various formats";</li>
<li>\subpage about_meshes_page "meshing geometrical models"
previously created or imported by the Geometry component; </li>
<li>\subpage viewing_meshes_overview_page "viewing created meshes" in
the VTK viewer;</li>
<li>\subpage grouping_elements_page "creating groups of mesh elements";</li>
<li>applying to meshes \subpage quality_page "Quality Controls", 
allowing to highlight important elements;
<li>filtering sub-sets of mesh entities (nodes elements) using
\subpage filters_page "Filters" functionality;</li>
<li>\subpage modifying_meshes_page "modifying meshes" with a vast
array of dedicated operations;</li> 
<li>various \subpage measurements_page "measurements" of the mesh objects.
</ul>

It is possible to easily set parameters via the variables predefined in

Mesh module preferences are described in the \subpage mesh_preferences_page section of SALOME Mesh Help.
Also, there is a possibility to \subpage arranging_study_objects_page "re-arrange sub-meshes and groups in the SALOME study".

Almost all mesh module functionalities are accessible via
