4 **topIIvol** meshing tool provides sequential/parallel tools for creating volumetric tetrahedral meshes from a given topology (point-cloud `*.xyz`).
6 Running topIIvol Plug-in

16 ========================
21 If the number of processors is set to 1, **topIIvol_Mesher** sequential tool is called for creating volumetric tetrahedral meshes from a given topology. The volumetric mesh can be displayed in SALOME by ticking the "Display mesh" check-box.
23 The list of input parameters are:
25 - DEM input file: input point cloud file;
26 - Number of X points present in the input point cloud;
27 - Number of Y points present in the input point cloud;
28 - Number of Z points intended in the z direction;
29 - Depth of the mesh needed;
30 - temporary directory for calculation.
34 If the number of processors is greater than one, **topIIvol_ParMesher** parallel computing tool is called for creating volumetric tetrahedral meshes from a given topology. The volumetric mesh can be displayed in SALOME by ticking the "Display mesh" check-box.
36 The list of input parameters are:
38 - DEM input file: input point cloud file;
39 - Number of X points present in the input point cloud;
40 - Number of Y points present in the input point cloud;
41 - Number of Z points intended in the z direction;
42 - Depth of the mesh needed;
44 - temporary directory for calculation.
49 If the check-box **Distributed** is ticked, **topIIvol_DistMesher** computing tool is called for creating embarassingly parallel distributed meshes from a given topology.
51 The list of input parameters are:
53 - DEM input file: input point cloud file;
54 - Number of X points present in the input point cloud;
55 - Number of Y points present in the input point cloud;
56 - Number of Z points intended in the z direction;
57 - Number of partitions in X direction;
58 - Number of partitions in Y direction;
59 - Number of partitions in Z direction;
60 - Depth of the mesh needed;
62 - temporary directory for calculation.
