See \ref adding_quadratic_elements_page "Adding quadratic elements" for more information about quadratic meshes. Note that conversion of a sub-mesh most probably will produce a non-conformal mesh. Elements on the boundary between -quadratic and linear sub-meshes become (or remain) quadratic. +quadratic (or bi-quadratic) and linear sub-meshes become (or remain) +quadratic (or bi-quadratic).
