With SALOME 7.2, the Python interface for Mesh has been slightly modified to offer new functionality.
You may have to modify your scripts generated with SALOME 6 or older versions.
As soon as a mesh is created, it is possible to manage it via its own
methods, described in class :class:`smeshBuilder.Mesh` documentation.
-Class :class:`smeshstudytools.SMeshStudyTools` provides several methods to manipulate mesh objects in Salome study.
+Class :class:`smeshstudytools.SMeshStudyTools` provides several methods to manipulate mesh objects in Salome study.
A usual workflow to generate a mesh on geometry is following:
#. Create an instance of :class:`smeshBuilder.smeshBuilder`:
.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
from salome.smesh import smeshBuilder
- smesh = smeshBuilder.New( salome.myStudy )
+ smesh = smeshBuilder.New()
#. Create a :class:`smeshBuilder.Mesh` object:
.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
mesh = smesh.Mesh( geometry )
#. Create and assign :ref:`algorithms <basic_meshing_algos_page>` by calling corresponding methods of the mesh. If a sub-shape is provided as an argument, a :ref:`sub-mesh <constructing_submeshes_page>` is implicitly created on this sub-shape:
.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
regular1D = mesh.Segment()
mefisto = mesh.Triangle( smeshBuilder.MEFISTO )
#. Create and assign :ref:`hypotheses <about_hypo_page>` by calling corresponding methods of algorithms:
.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
segLen10 = regular1D.LocalLength( 10. )
maxArea = mefisto.LocalLength( 100. )
netgen.SetMaxSize( 20. )
netgen.SetFineness( smeshBuilder.VeryCoarse )

+#. :ref:`Compute the mesh <compute_anchor>` (generate mesh nodes and elements):
.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
mesh.Compute()
An easiest way to start with Python scripting is to do something in
-GUI and then to get a corresponding Python script via
+GUI and then to get a corresponding Python script via
**File > Dump Study** menu item. Don't forget that you can get
all methods of any object in hand (e.g. a mesh group or a hypothesis)
by calling *dir()* Python built-in function.
-All methods of the Mesh Group can be found in :ref:`tui_create_standalone_group` sample script.
+All methods of the :class:`Mesh Group <SMESH.SMESH_GroupBase>` can be found in :ref:`tui_create_standalone_group` sample script.
-An example below demonstrates usage of the Python API for 3d mesh
-generation and for retrieving information on mesh nodes and elements.
