eap e85ddd2bb0 22504: [CEA 1078] The creation of a sub-mesh UseExistingFaces suppresses the created elements
Rename the algorithms in the dialog box:
- Use existing faces => Use faces to be created manually
- Use existing 2D elements => Import 1D-2D elements from another mesh

- Use existing edges => Use edges to be created manually
- Use existing 1D elements => Import 1D elements from another mesh

Python API for SALOME %Mesh module defines several classes that can
be used for easy mesh creation and edition.
Documentation for SALOME %Mesh module Python API is available in two forms:
- <a href="smeshpy_doc/modules.html">Structured documentation</a>, where all methods and
classes are grouped by their functionality, like it is done in the GUI documentation
- <a href="smeshpy_doc/namespaces.html">Linear documentation</a> grouped only by classes, declared
in the \ref smeshBuilder and \ref StdMeshersBuilder Python packages.
\n With SALOME 7.2, the Python interface for %Mesh has been slightly modified to offer new functionality,
\n You may have to modify your scripts generated with SALOME 6 or older versions.
\n Please see \ref smesh_migration_page
The SMESH python package contains helper functions to manipulate mesh elements and
interact with these elements.
Note that these functions either encapsulate the python programming interface of SMESH core
(the CORBA or SWIG interface for example) or extend existing utilities as the smesh.py module.
The functions are distributed in the python package \b salome.smesh.
\note
The main package \b salome contains other sub-packages that are distributed with the other
SALOME modules. For example, the KERNEL module provides the python package \b salome.kernel
and GEOM the package \b salome.geom.
Class \ref smeshBuilder.smeshBuilder "smeshBuilder" provides an interface to create and handle
meshes. It can be used to create an empty mesh or to import mesh from the data file.
Class \ref smeshstudytools.SMeshStudyTools "SMeshStudyTools" provides several methods to manipulate mesh objects in Salome study.
As soon as mesh is created, it is possible to manage it via its own
methods, described in class \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh "Mesh" documentation.
Class \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh "Mesh" allows assigning algorithms to a mesh.
Please note that some algorithms, included in the standard SALOME
distribution are always available. Python package \ref StdMeshersBuilder "StdMeshersBuilder"
provides an interface for standard meshing algorithms included into
the SALOME %Mesh module distribution, like:
- REGULAR (1D)
- COMPOSITE (1D)
- MEFISTO (2D)
- Quadrangle (2D)
- Hexa(3D)
- etc ...
To add meshing hypotheses, it is possible to use the functions provided by the
algorithms interfaces.
An example below demonstrates usage of the Python API for 3d mesh generation.
