+====== Volume interaction ======
+Generating [[doc:user:elements:volumes:volumeelement|volume elements]] on a mesh is done with a specific [[doc:user:general:glossaire#Interaction]] called ''FieldApplicator'':
+  app = FieldApplicator(no)
+  app.push(gObject1)
+  app.push(gObject2)
+  ...
+  app.addProperty(prp)        # association of an ElementProperties
+  app.addRuptureCriterion(rc) # failure criterion (optional)
+  interactionset.add(app)     # the interaction is added in InteractionSet
+or
+  app = interactionset.add(FieldApplicator(no)) #add returns a reference
+  app.push(gObject1)
+  app.push(gObject2)
+  ...
+  app.addProperty(prp)        # association of an ElementProperties
+  app.addRuptureCriterion(rc) # failure criterion (optional)
+where
+| ''no''       | number of the ''Interaction'' (which is to say the ''FieldApplicator'') |
+|''gObject1''  | mesh geometric entity where the finite elements are applied |
+| ''prp''      | [[doc:user:elements:general:def_element_properties|Properties]] of [[doc:user:elements:volumes:volumeelement|volume elements]] to generate.|
