+About SALOME Hybrid plug-in
+***************************
+
+SALOME Hybrid plug-in adds DISTENE MG-Hybrid meshing algorithm to the
+SALOME Mesh module.
+
+Hybrid plugin is designed for:
+- Meshing of 3D geometric closed entities: volumes are split into tetrahedra,
+ pyramids, prisms and hexahedra elements.
+- Generating of 3D meshes from 2D meshes of a wrap (triangles and quadrangles),
+ working with geometrical objects for setting and meshing layers.

+============
+Installation
+============
+
+--------------
+Pre-requisites
+--------------
+
+SALOME platform relies on a set of third-party softwares; some of them are needed
+at build time only, while other ones are needed in runtime also.
+
+For more information about the pre-requisites please visit SALOME platform web
+site:
+
+* Check Release Notes and Software Requirements of the latest SALOME release at
+
+ <http://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/current-version/>
+
+* Pre-requisites page at SALOME web site:
+
+ <http://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/license/>
+
+Note: SALOME Hybrid plug-in needs SALOME KERNEL, SALOME GUI,
+SALOME Geometry and SALOME Mesh as pre-requisites.
+
+------------------
+Basic Installation
+------------------
+
+The build procedure of the SALOME platform is implemented with CMake.
+In order to build the plug-in you have to do the following actions:
+
+1. Set up environment for pre-requisites (see "Pre-requisites" section above).
+
+2. Create a build directory:
+
+ % mkdir HYBRIDPLUGIN_BUILD
+
+3. Configure the build procedure:
+
+ % cd HYBRIDPLUGIN_BUILD
+ % cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<mode> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_directory> <path_to_src_dir>
+
+ where
+ - <mode> is either Release or Debug (default: Release);
+ - <installation_directory> is a destination folder to install SALOME Hybrid
+ plug-in (default: /usr);
+ - <path_to_src_dir> is a path to the SALOME Hybrid plug-in sources
+ directory.
+
+ Note: by default (if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option is not given), SALOME Hybrid
+ plug-in will be configured for installation to the /usr directory that
+ requires root permissions to complete the installation.
+
+4. Build and install:
+
+ % make
+ % make install
+
+ This will install SALOME Hybrid plug-in to the <installation_directory>
+ specified to cmake command on the previous step.
+
+-------------------
+Custom installation
+-------------------
+
+SALOME Hybrid plug-in supports a set of advanced configuration options;
+for more details learn CMakeLists.txt file in the root source directory.
+
+You can also use other options of cmake command to customize your installation.
+Learn more about available options by typing
+
+ % cmake --help
+
+=====
+Usage
+=====
+
+* Start SALOME.
+
+* Create new study.
+
+* Activate Geometry module and create simple geometry object.
+
+* Activate Mesh module.
+
+* Invoke menu "Mesh/Create Mesh".
+
+* Select previously created geometry object by clicking it with the
+ mouse in the Object Browser.
+
+* In the "Create mesh" dialog box:
+ - Activate "3D" page;
+ - In the "Algorithm" combo box select "Tetrahedron etc... (HYBRID)";
+ - Click on the button at the right of the "Hypothesis" combo box and
+ select "HYBRID parameters" item in the drop-down menu.
+
+* In the "Hypothesis Construction" dialog box set parameters of Hybrid
+ meshing algorithm and click "OK" button.
+
+* In the "Create mesh" dialog box Click "Apply & Close" button to
+ define mesh and close the dialog box.
+
+* In the Object Browser select "Mesh_1" object, invoke context popup
+ menu for it by clicking right mouse button and select "Compute" item.
+
+The resulting mesh created with Hybrid plugin will be shown in the 3D
+viewer.
