<li>If it is necessary to convert a linear mesh to quadratic or a quadratic
mesh to linear. **Convert to bi-quadratic** option does the same as
- **Convert to quadratic** except for that QUAD9 elements are created
- instead of QUAD8, and HEXA27 elements are created instead of
- HEXA20. Note that the choice is available only if the selected mesh
- (or sub-mesh) contains both quadratic and linear elements, else the
