The nodes of a curved element are numbered in the following order:
- – the element principal vertices;
- – the internal nodes for each edge;
- – the internal nodes for each face;
- – the volume internal nodes.
The numbering for face and volume internal nodes is recursive, i.e., the numbering follows that of the nodes of an embedded face/volume. The higher order nodes are assumed to be equispaced on the element.
