5 SALOME Mesh module implements the functionalities for:
6 - Creating meshes in different ways:
7 * By meshing geometrical models previously created or imported by the Geometry
9 * Bottom-up, using mesh edition operations, especially extrusion and revolution;
10 * By generation of the 3D mesh from the 2D mesh (the latter can be either imported
12 - Importing and exporting meshes in various formats.
13 - Modifying meshes with a vast array of dedicated operations.
14 - Creating groups of mesh elements.
15 - Filtering mesh entities (nodes or elements) using Filters functionality for
16 creating groups and applying mesh modifications.
17 - Viewing meshes in the VTK viewer and getting info on mesh and its sub-objects.
18 - Applying to meshes Quality Controls, allowing to highlight important elements.
19 - Taking various measurements of the mesh objects.

58 Note: SALOME Mesh module needs SALOME KERNEL, SALOME GUI and SALOME Geometry as
65 The build procedure of the SALOME platform is implemented with CMake.
66 In order to build the module you have to do the following actions:
68 1. Set up environment for pre-requisites (see "Pre-requisites" section above).
70 2. Create a build directory:
74 3. Configure the build procedure:
77 % cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<mode> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_directory> <path_to_src_dir>
80 - <mode> is either Release or Debug (default: Release);
81 - <installation_directory> is a destination folder to install SALOME Mesh
82 module (default: /usr);
83 - <path_to_src_dir> is a path to the SALOME Mesh sources directory.
85 Note: by default (if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option is not given), SALOME Mesh
86 module will be configured for installation to the /usr directory that requires
87 root permissions to complete the installation.
94 This will install SALOME Mesh module to the <installation_directory>
95 specified to cmake command on the previous step.
101 SALOME Mesh module supports a set of advanced configuration options;
102 for more details learn CMakeLists.txt file in the root source directory.
104 You can also use other options of cmake command to customize your installation.
