Meshes are used in SUTRA models. Meshes can be generated in several ways.

The mesh location and element size can be specified by objects which are then used to create an irregular mesh.

1.The user can use objects to define where the mesh should be and the mesh element size then use the Mesh|Generate Mesh... command to create it.

2.The user can can draw fishnet-mesh quadrilaterals which will then be subdivided to create the mesh.

3.The user can import a mesh generated by another program.

4.The user can draw individual elements either to modify an existing mesh or to create an entire mesh.
