Structurally, the sub-mesh is a mesh on a certain sub-shape, or a group of
sub-shapes, possibly generated using different meshing algorithms
and/or hypotheses than those used to generate the mesh on other

+sub-shapes. Elements generated on a sub-shape can be retrieved without

Creation of a sub-mesh allows to control individually meshing of a
certain sub-shape, thus to get a locally coarser or finer mesh, to get
