5 \section MEDCouplingMeshes Common concept shared by all type of Meshes in MEDCoupling
7 A mesh has the following properties :
10 - **a dimension (called mesh dimension) and only one** (it implies that \b all cells constituting
11 mesh have the same dimension)
12 - a space dimension (relative to coordinates)
16 In MEDCoupling library there is no presence of faces nor edges.
18 As a mesh has one dimension and only once, that is to say every cells in
19 mesh have the same dimension called MeshDimension.
21 For example a mesh with a meshDimension equal to 1, have \b cells of type
22 NORM_SEG2. Another example, a mesh with a meshDimension equal
23 to 2, have \b cells of type
24 NORM_TRI3 and NORM_POLYGON for example.
26 The class that incarnates the concept described above is :
27 \ref ParaMEDMEM::MEDCouplingMesh.
