+
+**Mesh** module of SALOME is destined for:
+
+* :ref:`creating meshes <about_meshes_page>` in different ways:
+ * by meshing geometrical models previously created or imported by the Geometry component;
+ * bottom-up, using :ref:`modifying_meshes_page`, especially :ref:`extrusion_page` and :ref:`revolution_page`;
+ * by generation of the 3D mesh from the 2D mesh not based on the geometry (:ref:`importing_exporting_meshes_page` for example);
+
+* :ref:`importing_exporting_meshes_page` in various formats;
+* :ref:`modifying_meshes_page` with a vast array of dedicated operations;
+* :ref:`grouping_elements_page` of mesh elements;
+* filtering mesh entities (nodes or elements) using :ref:`filters_page` functionality for :ref:`grouping_elements_page` and applying :ref:`modifying_meshes_page`;
+* :ref:`viewing_meshes_overview_page` in the VTK viewer and :ref:`mesh_infos_page` on mesh and its sub-objects;
+* applying to meshes :ref:`quality_page`, allowing to highlight important elements;
+* taking various :ref:`measurements_page` of the mesh objects.
+
+
+It is possible to use the variables predefined in :ref:`using_notebook_mesh_page` to set parameters of operations.
+Mesh module preferences are described in the :ref:`mesh_preferences_page` section of SALOME Mesh Help.
+Almost all mesh module functionalities are accessible via :ref:`smeshpy_interface_page`.
+There is a set of :ref:`tools_page` plugged-in the module to extend the basic functionality listed above.
