+\n GHS3DPRL Parameters hypothesis works only with <b>Tetrahedron (Tepal with TetMesh-GHS3D)</b> algorithm.
+This algorithm is a commercial software, its use requires a licence (http://www.distene.com/fr/build/offer.html).
+\n Tepal_V1.4 gives the possibility to generate a partitioned
mesh with 200 million tetrahedrons on a computer with average memory size
-(2Go RAM) in about 50 hours on one CPU (Xeon, 2008).
-This is a serious alternative to GHS3D, which requires a much less common
+(2Go RAM) in about 50 hours on one CPU (Xeon, 2008).
+\n New Tepal_V2.0 gives the possibility to generate a partitioned mesh with (for the moment) no more than 100 million
+tetrahedrons on computers using MPI, (Total 16 Go RAM)
+in about 900 seconds (!yes! : !seconds!) on 2 octo processors (Xeon, 2009).
+The launch of this beta-version is described below.
+\n This is a serious alternative to GHS3D, which requires a much less common
configuration with 64Go RAM to only try to make a partition of a mesh with
200 million tetrahedrons, no result guaranteed.
\n
\note The Plugin doesn't load in the Memory the supposedly large resulting meshes.
The meshes are saved in MED files and can be imported in the user-defined location via menu File-Import-MED Files.
