\n \b MESH represents a discretization of a geometrical CAD model into
a set of entities with a simple topology.
-Meshes are stored in DAT, MED, UNV, STL, CGNS, GMF and SAUVE formats and can be
-\subpage importing_exporting_meshes_page "imported from and exported to"
- the file in these formats.
-
It is possible to \subpage constructing_meshes_page "construct meshes"
on the basis of geometrical shapes produced in the GEOM module.
-It is also possible to
-\subpage constructing_submeshes_page "construct mesh on a part of the geometrical object",
-for example, a face, with different meshing parameters than the whole mesh.
+Construction of \subpage constructing_submeshes_page "sub-meshes"
+allows to mesh parts of the geometrical object, for example a face,
+with different meshing parameters or using another meshing algorithm
+than other parts.
+
+3D mesh can be generated basing on a 2D closed mesh.
Several created meshes can be \subpage building_compounds_page "combined into another mesh".
Meshes can be edited using the MESH functions destined for
\ref modifying_meshes_page "modification" of generated meshes.

The \b topology of a mesh is described by the relationships between its
entities including:
coordinates of the corresponding vertex.</li>
</ul>
-<br><h2>Connections</h2>
-
-Each mesh entity bounds 0 or more mesh entities of higher
-dimension. In the same way each mesh entity is bounded by 0 or more
-mesh entities of lower dimension:
-
-<ul>
-<li>A node bounds edges, faces and volumes</li>
-<li>An edge bounds faces, and volumes</li>
-<li>A face bounds volumes</li>
-<li>A volume is bounded by faces, edges and nodes</li>
-<li>A face is bounded by edges, and nodes</li>
-<li>An edge is bounded by nodes</li>
-</ul>
-
-You can notice that there are two types of connections: \b inverse and
-\b direct connections.
-
-<br><h2>Inverse connections</h2>
-
-This relationship has a particularity that the order of bounded
-entities has not a direct meaning. Also the number of bounded entities
-is not fixed.
-
-\b Example: The edges surrounding a node. The 3rd edge has no more
-sense that the 5th one.
-
-<br><h2>Direct connections</h2>
-
-This relationship has a particularity that the order of bounding
-entities is meaningful. The number of bounding entities is fixed and
-depends on the type of the entity (hexahedron, tetrahedron,?).
-
-\b Example: An edge is composed of two nodes. A face is composed of 3
-or 4 edges depending if we are dealing with triangles or quadrangles.
-
-The connections are not only restricted to entities of one dimension
-higher or lower. For example some algorithms may be interested to
-retrieve all the faces surrounding a node.
