+**Mesh** module of SALOME is destined for:
+
+* :ref:`creating meshes <about_meshes_page>` in different ways:
+
+  * by meshing geometrical models previously created or imported by the Geometry component; 
+  * bottom-up, using :ref:`mesh edition <modifying_meshes_page>`, especially :ref:`extrusion <extrusion_page>` and :ref:`revolution <revolution_page>`;
+  * by generation of the 3D mesh from the 2D mesh not based on the geometry (:ref:`imported <importing_exporting_meshes_page>` for example); 
+ 
+* :ref:`importing and exporting meshes <importing_exporting_meshes_page>` in various formats;
+* :ref:`modifying meshes <modifying_meshes_page>` with a vast array of dedicated operations; 
+* :ref:`creating groups <grouping_elements_page>` of mesh elements;
+* filtering mesh entities (nodes or elements) using :ref:`Filters <filters_page>` functionality for :ref:`creating groups <grouping_elements_page>` and applying :ref:`mesh modifications <modifying_meshes_page>`;
+* :ref:`viewing meshes <viewing_meshes_overview_page>` in the VTK viewer and :ref:`getting info <mesh_infos_page>` on mesh and its sub-objects;
+* applying to meshes :ref:`Quality Controls <quality_page>`, allowing to highlight important elements;
+* taking various :ref:`measurements <measurements_page>` of the mesh objects.
+
+There is a set of :ref:`tools <tools_page>` plugged-in the module to extend the basic functionality listed above.
+
+Almost all mesh module functionalities are accessible via :ref:`smeshpy_interface_page`.
+
+It is possible to use the variables predefined in :ref:`Salome notebook <using_notebook_mesh_page>` to set parameters of operations.
 
+Mesh module preferences are described in the :ref:`mesh_preferences_page` section of SALOME Mesh Help.
