\page using_operations_on_groups_page Using operations on groups
\n In MESH you can perform some Boolean operations on groups, which
belong to one and the same mesh.
- \ref union_anchor "Union"
- \ref intersection_anchor "Intersection"
- \ref cut_anchor "Cut"
\anchor union_anchor
Union of groups
This operation allows to create a new group in such a way that all
mesh elements that are present in the initial groups will be added to
the new one.
To union groups:
- In the \b Mesh menu select the Union Groups item. The following
dialog box will appear:
\image html uniongroups.png
In this dialog box you should specify the name of the resulting group
and set of groups which will be united.
For example, we have two groups Group1 and Group2.
\n The result of their \b Union will be Group12:

Group1

Group2
\image html image135.gif
Group12
- Click the \b Apply or Apply and Close button to confirm creation of the group.
See Also a sample TUI Script of a
\ref tui_union_of_groups "Union of Groups" operation.
\anchor intersection_anchor
Intersection of groups
This operation allows to create a new group in such a way that all
mesh elements that are present in all initial groups together are added to the
new one.
To intersect groups:
- In the \b Mesh menu select the Intersect Groups item. The
following dialog box will appear:
\image html intersectgroups.png
In this dialog box you should specify the name of the resulting group
and set of groups which will be intersected.
For example, we have two groups Group1 and Group2.
\n The result of their \b Intersection will be Group12a:
\image html image133.gif
Group1
\image html image134.gif
Group2
\image html image136.gif
Group12a
- Click the \b Apply or Apply and Close button to confirm creation of the group.
See Also a sample TUI Script of an
\ref tui_intersection_of_groups "Intersection of Groups" operation.
\anchor cut_anchor
Cut of groups
This operation allows to create a new group in such a way that all
mesh elements that are present in the main groups but are absent in the
tool groups are added to the new one.
To cut groups:
- In the \b Mesh menu select the Cut Groups item. The
following dialog box will appear:
\image html cutgroups.png
In this dialog box you should specify the name of the resulting group
and groups which will be cut.
For example, we have two groups Group1 and Group2.
\n The result of their \b Cut will be Group12b:
\image html image133.gif
Group1
\image html image134.gif
Group2
\image html image137.gif
Group12b
- Click the \b Apply or Apply and Close button to confirm creation of the
group.

\ref tui_cut_of_groups "Cut of Groups" operation.
