\page about_hypo_page About Hypotheses
\b Hypotheses represent boundary conditions which will be taken into
account by meshing algorithms.
The hypotheses allow you to manage the level of detail of
the resulting mesh: when applying different hypotheses
with different parameters you can preset the quantity or size of
elements which will compose your mesh. So, it will be possible to
generate a coarse or a more refined mesh.
The choice of a hypothesis depends on the selected algorithm.
Hypotheses are created during creation and edition of
\ref constructing_meshes_page "meshes" and
\ref constructing_submeshes_page "sub-mesh".
Once created a hypotheses can be reused during creation and
edition of other meshes and sub-meshes. All created hypotheses and
algorithms are present in the Object Browser in \a Hypotheses and
\a Algorithms folders correspondingly. From the context menu of the
hypothesis you can invoke a dialog for modification of its parameters,
and \b Unassign command that will unassign the hypothesis from all
the meshes and sub-meshes using it.
Modification of any hypothesis parameter and unassignment of a
hypothesis leads to automatic removal of elements generated with use
of this hypothesis.
In \b MESH there are the following Basic Hypotheses:
