\page introduction_to_mesh_page Introduction to MESH

\n \b MESH module of SALOME is destined for:
<ul>
<li>\ref importing_exporting_meshes_page "import and export of meshes in MED format",</li>
<li>\ref constructing_meshes_page "meshing geometrical models"
previously created or imported by the GEOM component. MESH module
allows to apply 1D, 2D, 3D meshing algorithms and a set of hypotheses:
<ul>
<li>\ref arithmetic_1d_anchor "Arithmetic 1D"</li>
<li>\ref average_length_anchor "Average Length"</li>
<li>\ref deflection_1d_anchor "Deflection 1D"</li>
