-*********************************
-Cut a tetrahedron mesh by a plane
-*********************************
-
-MeshCut works only with MED files and produces MED files, and is a standalone program. It can be used either directly from a command shell outside SALOME, or with a GUI interface in SMESH, provided in a python plugin that needs to be installed in your SALOME application.
-
-MeshCut allows to cut a mesh constituted of linear tetrahedrons by a plane.
-The tetrahedrons intersected by the plane are cut and replaced by elements of various types, (tetrahedron, pyramid, pentahedron).

-#####################################################
-
-MeshCut is a standalone program, reading and producing med files.
-
-Syntax::
-
- MeshCut input.med output.med resuMeshName aboveGroup belowGroup nx ny nz px py pz T
-
-where:
-
-* **input.med** = name of the original mesh file in med format
-* **output.med** = name of the result mesh file in med format
-* **resuMeshName** = name of the result mesh
-* **aboveGroup** = name of the group of volumes above the cut plane
-* **belowGroups** = name of the group of volumes below the cut plane
-* **nx ny nz** = vector normal to the cut plane
-* **px py pz** = a point of the cut plane
-* **T** = 0 < T < 1 : vertices of a tetrahedron are considered as belonging to the cut plane if their distance from the plane is inferior to L*T, where L is the mean edge size of the tetrahedron

-.. _meshcut_plugin:
-
-Using MeshCut inside SALOME
-###########################
-
-When the MeshCut plugin is installed, it can be found in the Mesh menu, sub-menu SMESH_plugins.
-If the plugin is not installed, the file meshcut_plugin.py is in SMESH installation in subdirectory
-*bin/salome/meshcut_plugin.py*.
-
-If there are already plugins defined in a smesh_plugins.py file, this file should be added at the end. If not, copied as
-*${HOME}/Plugins/smesh_plugins.py* or *${APPLI}/Plugins/smesh_plugins.py* or in *${PLUGINPATH}* directory.
-
-From the Mesh menu, sub-menu SMESH_plugins, choose **"MeshCut"** item
-The following dialog box will appear:
-
-.. image:: ../images/meshcut_plugin.png
- :align: center
-
-.. centered::
- MeshCut Plugin dialog box
-
-See above for the meaning of the parameters.
