\page constructing_submeshes_page Constructing submeshes
+Submesh is a mesh on a geometrical subobject created with algorithms
+and/or hypotheses other than the algorithms and hypotheses assigned to
+the parent mesh on the parent object.
+
+If a geometrical subobject belongs to several geometrical objects
+having different meshes or submeshes, it will be meshed with the
+hypotheses of a submesh of a lower dimension.
+For example, a face of a box is meshed with a submesh using algorithms
+and hypotheses other than the parent mesh on the whole box. The face
+and the box share four edges, which will be meshed with algorithms and
+hypotheses of the submesh on the face, because the face is a 2D object
+while the box is a 3D object.
+ If the dimensions are the same, an arbitrary algorithm/hypothesis
+ will be used. This means that an edge shared by two faces each having
+ its own different submesh, will be meshed using algorithms and
+ hypotheses of any of the two, chosen randomly.
