-\n Construction of a submesh consists of:
+Sub-mesh is a mesh on a geometrical sub-object (sub-shape) used to assign
+different meshing algorithms and/or hypotheses than the algorithms and
+hypotheses assigned to the parent mesh on the parent geometrical
+object, that allows getting a local mesh refinement.
+
+A sub-shape to create a sub-mesh on should be retrieved from the shape
+of the parent mesh in one of the following ways: <ul>
+<li> In Geometry module, via <em>New Entity > Explode</em> menu.</li>
+<li> In Geometry module, by creation of a group (<em>New Entity >
+ Group > Create Group</em> menu).</li>
+<li> In Mesh module, by
+ \ref subshape_by_mesh_elem "selecting a mesh element" generated on a
+ sub-shape of interest. This way is accessible if the mesh is
+ already computed.</li>
+</ul>
+
+If a geometrical sub-object belongs to several geometrical objects
+having different meshes or sub-meshes, it will be meshed with the
+hypotheses of a sub-mesh of a lower dimension.<br>
+For example, a face of a box is meshed with a sub-mesh 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 sub-mesh on the face, because the face is a 2D object
+while the box is a 3D object. <br>
+ 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 sub-mesh, will be meshed using algorithms and
+ hypotheses of any of the two, chosen randomly. This indeterminacy can
+ be fixed by defining \ref submesh_order_anchor "Sub-mesh priority". The
+ default sub-meshes priority is such that multi-dimensional algorithms
+ are processed first.

The following dialog box will appear:

It allows to define the \b Name, the parent \b Mesh and the \b
Geometry (e.g. a face if the parent mesh has been built on box) of the
-submesh. You can define algorithms and hypotheses in the same way as
+sub-mesh. You can select meshing algorithms and hypotheses in the same way as
in \ref constructing_meshes_page "Create mesh" menu.
\par
-In the Object Browser the structure of the new submesh will be
+\anchor subshape_by_mesh_elem
+If the parent mesh is already computed, then you can define the
+\b Geometry by picking mesh elements computed on a sub-shape of interest
+in the 3D Viewer, i.e. you do not have to extract this sub-shape
+in Geometry module beforehand. To start element selection, press \a
+Selection button to the right of \b Geometry label. If this button is
+already down, then click it to release and then click it again. The
+following pop-up menu allowing to choose a way of geometry definition will
+appear.

+<b>Direct geometry selection</b> enables selecting the sub-shape in the Object
+Browser.
+<b>Find geometry by mesh element selection</b> activates the following dialog.
+
+\par
+\image html find_geom_by_mesh_elem.png
+
+\par
+In this dialog, <b> Element Type </b> defines a kind of element to pick in the
+Viewer.
+Instead of picking an element in the Viewer, you can type its
+ID in <b> Element ID</b> field.
+<b> Geometry name </b> field allows defining a name of the sub-shape,
+with which the sub-shape will appear in the Object Browser (if not yet
+there).
+
+\par
+In the Object Browser the structure of the new sub-mesh will be
displayed as follows:

It contains:

-<li>a reference to the geometrical object on the basis of which the submesh has been constructed;</li>
+<li>a sub-mesh name (\a SubMeshFace1)
