toolbar. If the mesh contains concurrent \ref constructing_submeshes_page "submeshes",
it is possible to change the priority of their computation, i.e. to
change the priority of applying algorithms to the shared sub-shapes of
the Mesh shape.
<em>To change submesh priority:</em>
Choose "Change submesh priority" from the Mesh menu or a pop-up
menu. The opened dialog shows a list of submeshes in the order of
their priority.
There is an example of submesh order modifications of the Mesh created on a Box
shape. The main Mesh object:
<ul>
<li><i>1D</i> <b>Wire discretisation</b> with <b>Number of Segments</b>=20</li>
<li><i>2D</i> <b>Triangle (Mefisto)</b> with Hypothesis<b>Max Element Area</b>
</li>
</ul>
The first submesh object <b>Submesh_1</b> created on <b>Face_1</b> is:
<ul>
<li><i>1D</i> <b>Wire discretisation</b> with <b>Number of Segments</b>=4</li>
<li><i>2D</i> <b>Triangle (Mefisto)</b> with Hypothesis<b>MaxElementArea</b>=1200</li>
</ul>
The second submesh object <b>Submesh_2</b> created on <b>Face_2</b> is:
<ul>
<li><i>1D</i> <b>Wire discretisation</b> with <b>Number of Segments</b>=8</li>
<li><i>2D</i> <b>Triangle (Mefisto)</b> with Hypothesis<b>MaxElementArea</b>=1200</li>
</ul>
And the last submesh object <b>Submesh_3</b> created on <b>Face_3</b> is:
<ul>
<li><i>1D</i> <b>Wire discretisation</b> with <b>Number of Segments</b>=12</li>
<li><i>2D</i> <b>Triangle (Mefisto)</b> with Hypothesis<b>MaxElementArea</b>=1200</li>
</ul>
The sub-meshes become concurrent if they share sub-shapes that can be
meshed with different algorithms (or different hypothesises). In the
example, we have three submeshes with concurrent algorithms, because
they have different hypotheses.
The first mesh computation is made with:
<center>
\image html mesh_order_123.png
<em>"Mesh order SubMesh_1, SubMesh_2, SubMesh_3"</em></center>
<center>
\image html mesh_order_123_res.png
<em>"Result mesh with order SubMesh_1, SubMesh_2, SubMesh_3 "</em></center>

<em>"Mesh order SubMesh_2, SubMesh_1, SubMesh_3"</em></center>

<center>\image html mesh_order_321_res.png
<em>"Result mesh with order SubMesh_3, SubMesh_2, SubMesh_1 "</em></center>
As we can see, each mesh computation has a different number of result
elements and a different mesh discretisation on the shared edges (the edges
that are shared between <b>Face_1</b>, <b>Face_2</b> and <b>Face_3</b>)
Additionally, submesh priority (the order of applied algorithms) can
be modified not only in a separate dialog box, but also in
the <b>Preview</b>. This helps to preview different mesh results,
modifying the order of submeshes.
