+It can be used either directly from a command shell outside SALOME, or with a GUI interface in SMESH,
provided in a python plugin that needs to be installed in your SALOME application.
\n MeshCut allows to cut a mesh constituted of linear tetrahedrons by a plane.
\n nx ny nz = vector normal to the cut plane
\n px py pz = a point of the cut plane
\n T = 0 < T < 1 : vertices of a tetrahedron are considered as belonging to
-\n the cut plane if their distance to the plane is inferior to L*T
+\n the cut plane if their distance from the plane is inferior to L*T,
\n where L is the mean edge size of the tetrahedron
