9 <li>\subpage about_meshes_page "creating meshes" in different ways:
10 - by meshing geometrical models previously created or imported by the
12 - bottom-up, using \ref modifying_meshes_page "mesh edition"
13 operations, especially \ref extrusion_page "extrusion" and \ref
14 revolution_page "revolution";
15 - by generation of the 3D mesh from the 2D mesh not based on the geometry
16 (\ref importing_exporting_meshes_page "imported" for example);

41 Mesh module preferences are described in the \subpage mesh_preferences_page
42 section of SALOME Mesh Help.
44 Almost all mesh module functionalities are accessible via
45 \subpage smeshpy_interface_page "Mesh module Python interface".
47 There is a set of \subpage tools_page "tools" plugged-in the module to extend
48 the basic functionality listed above.
