With GUI
=====================================

To make the use of « Bloc Fissure » easier, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed.
Inputs are similar to those of :ref:`script mode <script>`. GUI is accessible in the SMESH extension *Add a crack in a mesh*

Tore parameters


- **Example**: fills the panels with a test-case

- **Reset**: clears all the parameters

- **Précédent**: loads the last set of parameters used

- **Recharger**: loads a .dic file containing parameters

- **Sauver**: save a .dic file with the active parameters

- **Fermer**: exit GUI

- **OK**: Launch calculation
