+******************************
+Split bi-quadratic into linear
+******************************
+
+This functionality allows to split bi-quadratic elements into
+linear ones without creation of additional nodes.
+
+So that
+
+* bi-quadratic triangle will be split into 3 linear quadrangles;
+* bi-quadratic quadrangle will be split into 4 linear quadrangles;
+* tri-quadratic hexahedron will be split into 8 linear hexahedra;
+* quadratic segments adjacent to the split bi-quadratic element will be split into 2 liner segments.

+
+**To split bi-quadratic elements into linear:**
+
+#. From the **Modification** menu choose the **Split bi-quadratic into linear** item or click **"Split bi-quadratic into linear"** button in the toolbar.
