+The <b>Divided disk</b> object is a disk divided into \b blocks for easy hexahedral meshing. Two division patterns are available :
+
+<ul>
+<li> A square pattern, which is frequently used; </li>
+<li> A hexagonal pattern, which ensures a better mesh quality and especially less acute or obtuse angles. </li>
+</ul>
+
+
+\n Moreover, this shape can be used as a basis in an \ref create_extrusion_alongpath_page "Extrusion along a path" operation in order to obtain any <b>tube shape</b> prepared for hexahedral meshing
+(see example below). (Another alternative is to create a 2D mesh on the divided disk and create a 3D mesh by extrusion in the SMESH module.)
