******************************
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 linear segments.

*To split bi-quadratic elements into linear:*
.. |img| image:: ../images/split_biquad_to_linear_icon.png
#. From the **Modification** menu choose the **Split bi-quadratic into linear** item or click *"Split bi-quadratic into linear"* button |img| in the toolbar.
The following dialog box shall appear:
