+\n In MESH there is a functionality allowing import/export
+of meshes from/to \b MED, \b UNV (I-DEAS 10), \b DAT (simple ascii format), \b STL,
+\b GMF (internal format of DISTENE products, namely MG-CADSurf, MG-Tetra and
+MG-Hexa algorithms) and \b CGNS format files. You can also export a
+group as a whole mesh.
To import a mesh:
- From the \b File menu choose the \b Import item, from its sub-menu
-select the corresponding format (MED, UNV and DAT) of the file containing
-your mesh.

+ There are additional parameters available at export to MED and SAUV format files.

+ - Automatically create groups check-box specifies whether to
+ create groups of all mesh entities of available dimensions or
+ not. If checked, the created groups have names like "Group_On_All_Nodes",
+ "Group_On_All_Faces", etc.
+ - Automatically define space dimension check-box specifies
+ whether to define space dimension for export by mesh configuration
+ or not. Usually the mesh is exported as a mesh in 3D space, just as
+ it is in Mesh module. The mesh can be exported as a mesh of a lower
+ dimension in the following cases, provided that this check-box is checked:
+
+ - 1D: if all mesh nodes lie on OX coordinate axis.
+ - 2D: if all mesh nodes lie in XOY coordinate plane.
