\mainpage Introduction to Mesh module
\image html a-viewgeneral.png
\n \b Mesh module of SALOME is destined for:
<ul>
<li>\subpage about_meshes_page "creating meshes" in different ways:
- by meshing geometrical models previously created or imported by the
Geometry component;
- bottom-up, using \ref modifying_meshes_page "mesh edition"
operations, especially \ref extrusion_page "extrusion" and \ref
revolution_page "revolution";
- by generation of the 3D mesh from the 2D mesh not based on the geometry
(\ref importing_exporting_meshes_page "imported" for example);
</li>
<li>\ref importing_exporting_meshes_page "importing and exporting meshes"
in various formats;</li>
<li>\subpage modifying_meshes_page "modifying meshes" with a vast
array of dedicated operations;</li>
<li>\subpage grouping_elements_page "creating groups" of mesh
elements;</li>
<li>filtering mesh entities (nodes or elements) using
\subpage filters_page "Filters" functionality for \ref
grouping_elements_page "creating groups" and applying \ref
modifying_meshes_page "mesh modifications";</li>
<li>\subpage viewing_meshes_overview_page "viewing meshes" in
the VTK viewer and \ref mesh_infos_page "getting info" on mesh
and its sub-objects;</li>
<li>applying to meshes \subpage quality_page "Quality Controls",
allowing to highlight important elements;</li>
<li>taking various \subpage measurements_page "measurements" of the
mesh objects.</li>
</ul>
It is possible to use the variables predefined in
\subpage using_notebook_mesh_page "Salome notebook" to set parameters
of operations.
Mesh module preferences are described in the \subpage mesh_preferences_page
section of SALOME Mesh Help.
Almost all mesh module functionalities are accessible via
\subpage smeshpy_interface_page "Mesh module Python interface".
There is a set of \subpage tools_page "tools" plugged-in the module to extend
the basic functionality listed above.
