This two-dimensional reference_element(6) is then transformed, after the Piola geometrical application, as a quadrangle in a 2D or 3D physical space, as a geo_element(6).

Curved high order Pk quadrangles (k >= 1), in 2D or 3D geometries, are supported. These quadrangles have additional edge-nodes and face-nodes. These nodes are numbered as: first vertex, then edge-node, following the edge numbering order and orientation, and finally the face internal nodes, following the quadrangle lattice.
