Thank you Christophe, the option reconstructs the geometry. Is the reconstruction purely geometric, or does reconstruct also the fields based on high order shape functions (in this simulation I used 6-nodes triangles, so the reconstruction may be performed with quadratic shape functions, accounting for the internal nodes)?
