  In MESH you can create groups of elements of different types. To create a group of elements in the Mesh menu select Create Group.

To create any group you should define the following:   

SALOME Platform distinguishes between the two Group types: Standalone Group and Group on Geometry.  

Standalone Group

The box for creation of a Standalone Group appears by default. Standalone Group consists of mesh elements, which you can define in two possible ways.

To remove a selected element or elements from the list click the Remove button. The Sort button allows to sort the list of IDs of mesh elements.

Select from set of fields allows to choose a submesh or an existing group whose elements of the previously defined type will be added to the list of elements which will form your group.

Group on Geometry

To create a group on geometry check Group on geometry in the Group type field. Group on geometry contains the elements of a certain type belonging to the selected geometrical object. To define a group select in the Objet Browser or in the 3D viewer a geometrical object from which the elements will be taken. After confirmation of the operation MESH will create a new group consisting of geometrical elements of the previously defined type.
