+A usual workflow to generate a mesh on geometry is following:
+<ol>
+ <li>Create an instance of \ref smeshBuilder.smeshBuilder "smeshBuilder":
+ <pre>
+ from salome.smesh import smeshBuilder
+ smesh = smeshBuilder.New( salome.myStudy )
+ </pre></li>
+ <li>Create a \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh "mesh" object:
+ <pre>
+ mesh = \ref smeshBuilder.smeshBuilder.Mesh "smesh.Mesh( geometry )"
+ </pre></li>
+ <li> Create and assign \ref basic_meshing_algos_page "algorithms" by
+ calling corresponding methods of the mesh. If a sub-shape is
+ provided as an argument, a \ref constructing_submeshes_page "sub-mesh"
+ is implicitly created on this sub-shape:
+ <pre>
+ regular1D = \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh.Segment "mesh.Segment"()
+ mefisto = \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh.Triangle "mesh.Triangle"( smeshBuilder.MEFISTO )
+ # use other triangle algorithm on a face -- a sub-mesh appears in the mesh
+ netgen = \ref smeshBuilder.Mesh.Triangle "mesh.Triangle"( smeshBuilder.NETGEN_1D2D, face )
+ </pre></li>
+ <li> Create and assign \ref about_hypo_page "hypotheses" by calling
+ corresponding methods of algorithms:
+ <pre>
+ segLen10 = \ref StdMeshersBuilder.StdMeshersBuilder_Segment.LocalLength "regular1D.LocalLength"( 10. )
+ maxArea = \ref StdMeshersBuilder.StdMeshersBuilder_Segment.LocalLength "mefisto.MaxElementArea"( 100. )
+ netgen.SetMaxSize( 20. )
+ netgen.SetFineness( smeshBuilder.VeryCoarse )
+ </pre>
+ </li>
+ <li> \ref compute_anchor "Compute" the mesh (generate mesh nodes and elements):
+ <pre>
+ \ref Mesh.Compute "mesh.Compute"()
+ </pre>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+An easiest way to start with Python scripting is to do something in
+GUI and then to get a corresponding Python script via
+<b> File > Dump Study </b> menu item. Don't forget that you can get
+all methods of any object in hand (e.g. a mesh group or a hypothesis)
+by calling \a dir() Python built-in function.
+
+All methods of the Mesh Group can be found in \ref tui_create_standalone_group sample script.
+
+An example below demonstrates usage of the Python API for 3d mesh
+generation and for retrieving information on mesh nodes and elements.
