\page mesh_infos_page Mesh Information
The user can obtain an information about the selected mesh object
(mesh, sub-mesh or group) using Mesh Information dialog box.
To view the Mesh Information, select your mesh, sub-mesh or
group in the Object Browser and invoke Mesh Information
item from the \b Mesh menu or click "Mesh Information" button
in the toolbar.

"Mesh Information" button
The Mesh Information dialog box provides three tab pages:
- \ref advanced_mesh_infos_anchor "Base Info" - to show base information about selected mesh
object
- \ref mesh_element_info_anchor "Element Info" - to show detail information about selected mesh
node or element.
- \ref mesh_addition_info_anchor "Additional Info" - to show additional information available
for selected mesh, sub-mesh or group object.
\anchor advanced_mesh_infos_anchor
Base Information
The Base Info tab page of the dialog box provides general
information on the selected object - mesh, sub-mesh or mesh group:
name, type, total number of nodes and elements separately for each
type: 0D elements, edges, faces and volumes.

Mesh Element Information
The Element Info tab page of the dialog box gives basic
information about the type, coordinates and connectivity of the
selected mesh node or element.

The use can either input the ID of a node or element he wants to
analyze directly in the dialog box or select the node or element in
the 3D viewer.

Additional Information
The Additional Info tab page of the dialog box provides an
additional information on the selected object: mesh, sub-mesh or
group.
For mesh object, the following information is shown:
- Name
- Type: based on geomerty, imported, standalone
- Shape (if mesh is based on geometry)
- File (if mesh is imported from the file)
- Groups
- Sub-meshes

"Additional Info" page, mesh information
For sub-mesh object, the following information is shown:
- Name
- Parent mesh
- Shape
\image html addinfo_submesh.png
"Additional Info" page, sub-mesh information
For group object, the following information is shown:
- Name
- Parent mesh
- Type: standalone, group on geometry, group on filter
- Entity type: node, edge, face, volume
- Size
- Color
- Number of underlying nodes (for non-nodal groups)

"Additional Info" page, group information
\note For the performance reasons, number of underlying nodes is
computed only by demand. For this, the user should press the "Compute"
button (see picture). Also, number of underlying nodes is
automatically calculated if the size of the group does not exceed
limit set via the preferences - "Mesh information" group,
"Automatic nodes compute limit" item (zero value means no limit).
In case you get Mesh Information via a TUI script, the information is
displayed in the Python Console.
See the \ref tui_viewing_mesh_infos "TUI Example".
