style="font-weight: normal;">In MESH you
can create groups of elements of different types. To create a group of
elements</span><span style="font-weight: normal; margin-left: 40px;">
in the </span><span style="margin-left: 40px;">Mesh</span><span style="font-weight: normal; margin-left: 40px;">

</span></p>
<p class="whs3">To create any group
you should define the following: &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs4">
<li class=kadov-p><p class="whs5">Mesh:
<span style="font-weight: normal;">the name of the mesh whose elements
will form your group. You can select your mesh in the Objet Browser or
in the 3D viewer.</span></p></li>
<li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Elements</B></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Type</B></span>
set of radio buttons allows to select the type of elements which will
form your group:</p></li>
<ul type="disc" class="whs4">
<li class=kadov-p><p class="whs6">Nodes</p></li>
<li class=kadov-p><p class="whs6">Edges

<p class="whs3">SALOME Platform distinguishes
between the two Group types: <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Standalone

&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Standalone Group </h3>
<p class="whs7">The box for creation of a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Standalone
Group</B></span> appears by default. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Standalone
Group</B></span> consists of mesh elements, which you can define in two possible
ways.</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs4">
<li class=kadov-p><p class="whs8">Choosing them manually
with the mouse in the 3D Viewer. You can click on an element in the 3D
viewer and it will be highlighted. After that click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add
</B></span>button and the ID of this element will be added to the list. </p></li>
<li class=kadov-p><p class="whs7">Applying Filters. The
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Set filter </B></span>button allows to apply
a definite filter to selection of the elements of your group. See more
about filters on the <a href="../selection_filter_library.htm">Selection
filter library</a> page. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li>
</ul>
<p class="whs7">To remove a selected element or elements
from the list click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Remove </B></span>button.
The <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Sort List </B></span>button allows to
sort the list of IDs of mesh elements. </p>
<p class="whs7"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Select from
</B></span>set of fields allows to choose a submesh or an existing group whose
elements of the previously defined type will be added to the list of elements
which will form your group.</p>

<p class="whs3">To create a group on
geometry check <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Group on geometry</B></span>

be taken. After confirmation of the operation MESH will create a new group
of mesh elements.</p>
