<h2>Non Conform mesh allowed hypothesis</h2>
<b>Non Conform mesh allowed</b> hypothesis allows to generate non-conform
meshes (that is, meshes having some edges ending on an edge or face of
adjacent elements).

<h2>Quadratic Mesh</h2>
Quadratic Mesh hypothesis allows to build a quadratic mesh (whose
-edges are not straight but broken lines and can be defined by three
-points: first, middle and last) instead of an ordinary one.

+This additional hypothesis can be used together with 2D triangulation algorithms.
+It allows 2D triangulation algorithms to build quadrangular meshes.
-<b>Viscous Layers</b> additional hypotheses can be used together with
-several 3D algorithms: NETGEN 3D, GHS3D and Hexahedron(i,j,k). This
-hypothesis allows creation of layers of highly stretched prisms near
-mesh boundary, which is beneficial for high quality viscous
-computations. The prisms constructed on the quadrangular mesh faces are
-actually the hexahedrons.
+When used with "Quadrangle (Mapping)" meshing algorithm, that is obsolete
+ since introducing \ref hypo_quad_params_anchor "Quadrangle parameters"
+hypothesis, this hypothesis has one restriction on its work: the total quantity of
+segments on all four sides of the face must be even (divisible by 2).

+<h2>Viscous Layers and Viscous Layers 2D</h2>
+<b>Viscous Layers</b> and <b>Viscous Layers 2D </b> additional
+hypotheses can be used together with some 3D algorithms, for example,
+Hexahedron(i,j,k) or 2D algorithms, for example, Triangle
+(MEFISTO), correspondingly. These hypotheses allow creation of layers
+of highly stretched elements, prisms in 3D and quadrilaterals in 2D,
+near mesh boundary, which is beneficial for high quality viscous
+computations.
