3D sub-shapes (solids) and generate 3D mesh elements

- As soon as you have selected an algorithm, you can create a hypothesis (or
- select an already created one). A set of accessible
- hypotheses includes only the hypotheses that can be used by the selected algorithm.

- \b 0D page refers to 0D geometry (vertices) rather than
- to 0D elements. Mesh module does not provide algorithms that

produce 0D elements. Currently \b 0D page provides only one
algorithm "Segments around vertex" that allows specifying the required
size of mesh edges about the selected vertex (or vertices).
For example, you need to mesh a 3D object.
First, you can change a default name of your mesh in the \b Name
- box. Then check that the selected geometrical object
- indicated in \b Geometry field, is what you wish to mesh; if not, select
+ box. Then check that the selected geometrical object indicated in
+ \b Geometry field, is what you wish to mesh; if not, select
the correct object in the Object Browser. Click "Select" button
near \b Geometry field if the name of the object has not yet
appeared in \b Geometry field.

After the mesh computation finishes, the Mesh Computation information
box appears. If you close this box and click "Compute" button again,
-without previously changing meshing parameters, the mesh will
-NOT be re-computed and the Mesh Computation information box will be shown with
-the same contents. (To fully re-compute the mesh, invoke \ref
-clear_mesh_anchor "Clear Mesh Data" command before).
