In the example we will go through the commands in a basic meshtool workflow. It consists of :
We start by generating the initial mesh
$ mesher \
-size[0] 0.05 \
-size[1] 0.6 \
-size[2] 0.3 \
-bath[0] -0.02 \
-bath[1] -0.02 \
-bath[2] -0.02 \
-resolution[0] 100.0 \
-resolution[1] 100.0 \
-resolution[2] 100.0 \
-mesh block
Now we check the tags of the mesh
$ meshtool query tags -msh=block
Reading mesh: block.*
Reading elements in text CARP format: [====================]
Reading points in text CARP format: [====================]

Done in 0.15757 sec
All tags:

Extracting myocardium ..
Done in 0.077463 sec
Myocardium tags:

We then extract the myocard submesh
$ meshtool extract mesh -msh=block -submsh=block_i -tags=1
Let’s query the bounding box of the myocard
$ meshtool query bbox -msh=block_i
Reading points of mesh: block_i.*

Bbox:
x: ( -250.00 , 250.00 ), delta 500.00
y: ( -3000.00 , 3000.00 ), delta 6000.00
z: ( -1500.00 , 1500.00 ), delta 3000.00
We also want to now if the spatial resolution is as requested
$ meshtool query edges -msh=block_i
Reading mesh: block_i.*

Finally, we extract the full surface
$ meshtool extract surface -msh=block_i -surf=block_i
and the surface of the upper wedge side
$ meshtool extract surface -msh=block_i -surf=block_i.top -coord=0,3010,0 -edge=10
