-identify nodes to merge within one geometrical face when \b Topology
-option is to pre-process.</li>
-
-<li>\b topo_eps2 (real) - is the tolerance level between two CAD

-<i>P2,</i> and <i>t</i> be a parameter varying from 0 to 1 when moving from <i>P1
-to</i> <i>P2</i>.
-<ul>
-<li>0 - the interpolation is linear: \f$v = h1 + t (h2 - h1 )\f$</li>
-<li>1 - the interpolation is geometric: \f$v = h1 \times \left( \frac{h1}{h2} \right)^{t}\f$</li>

-parts. At each iteration,\b CheckCloseEdges decreases the sizes of the
-edges when two boundary curves are neighboring,\b CheckAdjacentEdges
-balances the sizes of adjacent edges, and \b CheckWellDefined checks if
-the parametric domain is well defined. Default values are 0.</li>

-<li>Groups of faces, edges and vertices are also handled.</li>
-<li>It is possible to attribute the same size to several geometries using multi-selection.</li>

-<h2>Computation of the physical size</h2>
-\image html blsurf_parameters_sizemap1.png 
-
-The physical size is obtained by querying sizemap functions associated to the input CAD object for surfaces, curves and points.
-Each function can either return a value h (which is then trimmed
-between the two bounds hphymin and hphymax), or "no answer" (by not
-assigning a value to h), thus providing great flexibility in the
-specification of the sizes. The computation depends on whether point P is internal to a surface, internal to a curve, or at the end of several curves:
-<ul>
-<li> If point P is internal to a surface, the CAD surface size function is queried. If no answer is returned, one interpolates with the values at the vertices of the discretized interface curves.</li>
-<li> If point P is internal to a curve, the CAD curve size function is queried first. If no answer is returned, the surface size function is queried for every adjacent surface and the mean value of the returned values is computed. If no answer is returned, sizes h1 and h2 at both ends of the curve are considered (see next item) and the interpolated value is computed.</li>
-<li> If point P is at the extremity of several curves, the CAD point size function is queried first. If no answer is returned, the curve size function is queried for every adjacent curve and the mean value of the returned values is computed. If no answer is returned, the surface size function is queried for every adjacent surface and the mean value of the returned values is computed. If there is still no answer returned, the default value hphydef is kept.</li>
-</ul>
-In order to compute the mean of several values, the arithmetic mean is used by default, but this can be modified by the parameter \ref blsurf_hmean_flag "hmean flag". In the same way, in order to interpolate two values, a linear interpolation is used by default, but this can be modified by \ref blsurf_hinterpol_flag "hinterpol flag".

-More specific size maps can be defined on faces. 
-
-<ul>
-<li> <i> Attractors </i> allow to define the size of the mesh elements
-on a face so that the mesh is the finest on the attractor shape and
-becomes coarser when getting far from this shape.
-<ul> 
-<li> The selected attractor can be a Vertex, an Edge, a Wire or a
-Compound mixing several entities of those types.</li>
-<li> The attractor doesn't have to be a sub-shape of the shape to mesh.</li>
-<li> The size will grow exponentially (see the formula below) but is
-bounded by gradation, \n so if you want the formula to be strictly
-respected, you should set the <i>gradation</i> 
-to its maximum (2.5) in the <i>arguments</i> tab. 
-</ul>
-\n
-<li> Furthermore you can choose to <i> keep the size constant </i>
-until a certain distance from a shape. This option can be combined or
-not with an <i>attractor</i> size map described above. 
-<ul>
-<li> If the two options are combined the size will remain constant
-until the distance specified in "constant over" and grow then as
-prescribed by the attractor function.</li>

-particularly useful to generate a volume mesh without internal points at all and in some rare cases
-at the boundary regeneration phase when it is impossible to proceed
-with the standard options
-(for example, when one dimension of the domain is more than 20 times greater than the other two).
-Use this option if the boundary regeneration has failed with the standard parameters and before using

-Note: the boundary regeneration may fail with this option, in some rare cases.</li>

-create volume meshes starting from very poor quality surface meshes
-(almost flat triangles on the surface, high density propagation,

-
-<li><b>To use FEM correction</b> - Applies finite-element correction by 
-replacing overconstrained elements where it is possible. At first the process 
-slices the overconstrained edges and at second the overconstrained 
-facets. This ensures that there are no edges with two boundary
-vertices and that there are no facets with three boundary vertices. TetMesh-GHS3D gives the initial 
-and final overconstrained edges and facets. It also gives the facets
-which have three edges on the boundary.
-Note: when using this option, the speed of the meshing process may 
-decrease, quality may change, and the smallest volume may be smaller.

-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).
-\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.

-file with 5 million tetrahedrons.

-    [-u] [-m memory>] [-M MEMORY] [-f prefix] [-v verbose]
-    [-c component] [-p0] [-C] [-E count] [-t] [-o level]
-    [-I filetype] [-a/-b] [-O n m]
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
- -u (-h)        : prints this message.
-
- -m memory      : launches the software with memory in Megabytes.
-                  The default value of this parameter is 64 Megabytes and its
-                  minimum value is 10 Megabytes.
-                  It is also possible to set this parameter with the
-                  environment variable GHS3D_MEMORY by means of an operation
-                  equivalent to:
-                           setenv GHS3D_MEMORY memory,
-                  the value specified in the command line has the priority on
-                  the environment variable.
-
- -M MEMORY      : provides the automatic memory adjustment feature.
-                  If MEMORY (in Megabytes) is equal to zero, the size of the work space is
-                  calculated from the input. If MEMORY is not equal to
-                  zero, the software starts with MEMORY amount of work space.
-                  The software reallocates memory as necessary.
-                  The start value of  MEMORY can range from 0 to 64 Megabytes,
-                  the maximum depends on -m option and the actual memory available.
-
- -f prefix      : defines the generic prefix of the files.
-
- -v verbose     : sets the output level parameter (the verbose parameter
-                  must be in the range 0 to 10).
-
- -c component   : chooses the meshed component. If the parameter is
-                      0, all components will be meshed, if
-                      1, only the main (outermost) component will be meshed
-
- -p0            : disables creation of internal points.
-
- -C             : uses an alternative boundary recovery mechanism. It should be used only
-                  when the standard boundary recovery fails.
-
- -E count       : sets the extended output for error messages. If -E is used,
-                  the error messages will be printed, it is possible
-                  to indicate the maximum number of printed messages between 1 and 100.
-
- -t             : generates an error file prefix.Log
-
- -o level       : sets the required optimisation level.
-                  Valid optimisation levels are:
-                  none, light, standard or strong,
-                  with increase of "quality vs speed" ratio.
-
- -I filetype    : defines the input mesh format as follows:
-                    -IP input files are ascii files, named prefix.points
-                     and prefix.faces - this is the default type of files
-                    -IPb input files are binary files, named prefix.pointsb
-                     and prefix.facesb
-                    -IM input file is ascii file, named prefix.mesh
-                  where prefix is defined with -f option
-
- -a/-b          : selects the output file type:
-                    -a for ascii (the default) and
-                    -b for binary.
-
- -On            : saves a NOPO file in addition. NOPO is the mesh data
-                  structure of the Simail and Modulef software packages.
- -Om            : saves a mesh file in addition.
- -Omn           : saves both NOPO and mesh files.

-
-<li><b>Nb. Hexes Min Level</b> - allows defining the minimal level of recursive partitioning on the initial octree cube.</li>
-

-
-<li><b>Salome Quadrangles</b> - not documented.</li>
-
-<li><b>Generate smooth meshes no ridges</b> - specifies that the mesher can ignore ridges. A ridge is a geometrical entity (a sharp edge). The resulting meshes will have better quality elements, at the price of "smoothing" out the geometry.
-</li>
-
-<li><b>Authorize invalid elements</b> - specifies that the mesher must conform as much as possible to the geometry (especially the sharp edges). The resulting meshes may contain invalid elements (but with positive volumes: for example, three vertices of an hexahedron on the same edge), for the benefit of better geometry accuracy.
-</li>
-
-<li><b>Sharp angle threshold in degrees</b> - specifies the angle between two triangles above which the hex mesher will consider the edge common to these two triangles as being a "ridge". A ridge is a geometrical entity (a sharp edge) which has to be kept as it is in the final hex mesh.The default value is 60 (degrees).<br>If you raise this value, the hex mesher will detect less ridges, and the final solid mesh will therefore be smoother. On the other hand, if you reduce this value, more ridges will be detected and the algorithm will face harder situations to conform to.

-
-<li><b>Number of threads</b> - specifies the number of threads to be used (this should be the number of cores or processors of a shared memory parallel architecture).
-</li>
-
-<li><b>Working directory</b> - specifies the directory where the input/output files will be created.
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-\note If BLSURF is used as 2D algo, and if a GMF file is defined as output file (using SetGMFFile(my2Dmesh.mesh)), then Hexotic will use this file as input.
-This allows to avoid the reconstruction of the GMF file from the SMESH structure and can improve the global computation time.

-- <b>Allow Quadrangles</b> - allows to use quadrangle elements in a

-\b 3D groups allows defining the size of 3D elements.
-- <b>Length from faces</b> if checked in, the area of sides of

-\note Netgen algorithm does not strictly follow the input

-required. There are several factors in it:
-- NETGEN does not actually use "NbOfSegments" parameter for discretization of
-edge. This parameter is used  only to define the local element size
-(size at the given point), so local sizes of adjacent edges influence
-each other.
-- NETGEN additionally restricts the element size according to edge curvature.
-- The local size of edges influences the size of close triangles.
-- The order of elements and their size in the 1D mesh generated by
-NETGEN differ from those in the 1D mesh generated by Regular_1D
-algorithm, resulting in different 2D and 3D meshes.
