3 \mainpage Introduction to MG-Tetra plug-in
5 MG-Tetra plug-in adds two meshing algorithm to the SALOME Mesh:
6 <b> MG-Tetra or MG-Tetra HPC</b> (former GHS3D) and <b>MG-Tetra Optimization</b>.
8 <b> MG-Tetra or MG-Tetra HPC</b> meshing algorithm is destined for:
9 - Meshing 3D geometric entities: solids are split into tetrahedral (pyramidal) elements.
10 - Generating 3D meshes from 2D meshes (triangles and quadrangles), working without geometrical objects.
12 <b>MG-Tetra Optimization</b> algorithm optimizes linear tetrahedral
13 meshes not based on geometry.
14 - To be able to optimize a mesh generated on geometry, copy
15 this mesh (menu <b>Mesh > Copy Mesh</b>) and assign MG-Tetra
16 Optimization algorithm to the new mesh in <b>Edit Mesh</b> dialog.
17 - To re-optimize a just optimized mesh, invoke <b>Clear Mesh
18 Data</b> command and then \b Compute the mesh again.
20 \note MG-Tetra plug-in uses MG-Tetra commercial mesher and requires a
21 license to be used within the Mesh module.

24 To manage parameters of the MG-Tetra mesher use
25 \subpage ghs3d_hypo_page and \subpage additional_hypo_page.
26 Parameters of MG-Tetra Optimization can be managed via \subpage optimization_page.
28 Also all MG-Tetra functionalities are accessible via
29 \subpage ghs3dplugin_python_interface_page "MG-Tetra Python interface".
