/**
 * @brief Subdomain representation of a topological parent in another Mesh.
 *
 * SubMesh is a subdomain representation of a Mesh defined on its parents
 * attributes. The current implementation creates either a domain or surface
 * subset of the parents Mesh and reuses the parallel distribution.
 *
 * The attributes are taken from the parent. That means if a volume is extracted
 * from a volume, it has the same domain attribute as the parent. Its boundary
 * attributes are generated (there will be one boundary attribute 1 for all of
 * the boundaries).
 *
 * If a surface is extracted from a volume, the boundary attribute from the
 * parent is assigned to be the new domain attribute. Its boundary attributes
 * are generated (there will be one boundary attribute 1 for all of the
 * boundaries).
 *
 * For more customized boundary attributes, the resulting SubMesh has to be
 * postprocessed.
