Description

       The edge reference_element(6) is

           K = { 0 < x0 < 1 and 0 < x1 < 1-x0 and 0 < x2 < 1-x0-x1 }

                             x2

        The orientation is such that the trihedral (01, 02, 03) is direct, and all faces, see from exterior, are
       in the direct sens. See

           P. L. Georges,
           Generation automatique de maillages,
           page 24-, coll RMA, 16, Masson, 1994.

        This three-dimensional reference_element(6) is then transformed, after the Piola geometrical
       application, as a tetrahedron in a physical space, as a geo_element(6).

       Curved high order Pk tetrahedra (k >= 1) in 3D geometries are supported. These tetrahedra have additional
       edge-nodes, face-nodes and internal volume-nodes. These nodes are numbered as: first vertex, then edge-
       node, following the edge numbering order and orientation, then face-nodes following the face numbering
       order and orientation, and finally the face internal nodes, following the tetrahedron lattice. See below
       for edges and faces numbering and orientation.

        Notice that the edge-nodes and face-nodes numbering slightly differ from those used in the gmsh mesh
       generator when using high-order elements. This difference is handled by the msh2geo_1 mesh file
       converter.
