5 In Mesh module it is possible to create groups of mesh elements:
6 nodes, edges, faces or volumes:
8 <li> by selecting the elements of the specified kind by their IDs or
9 directly on the presentation in the VTK viewer - <b>Standalone
10 group</b> tab of \subpage creating_groups_page "Create group"
12 <li> by creating a group of elements of the selected type from all
13 such elements of the chosen geometrical object - <b>Group on
14 geometry</b> tab of \ref creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog.</li>
15 <li> by creating a group including all types of elements from an
16 existing geometrical object - using \subpage create_groups_from_geometry_page "Create Groups from Geometry" dialog.</li>
17 <li> by creating several groups of elements (nodes,
18 edges, faces and volumes) from the chosen submesh - using <b>Mesh -> Construct
19 Group</b> Menu item. In this case groups of elements are created
21 <li> by creating groups of entities from existing groups of superior
22 dimensions - using \subpage group_of_underlying_elements_page "Create Group of Underlying Elements"
27 The created groups can be later:
30 <li>\subpage editing_groups_page "Edited"</li>
31 <li>\subpage using_operations_on_groups_page "Subjected to Boolean operations"</li>
32 <li>\subpage deleting_groups_page "Deleted"</li>
35 An important tool, providing filters for creation of \b Standalone
36 groups is \subpage selection_filter_library_page.
