Thank you for your answer. Your strategy worked perfectly. I ended up using
the following block of code to renumber the mesh.
// The mapping is stored in the vector new_to_old, where
// new_to_old[elem_old_id] = elem_new_id.
// Also _mesh.prepare_for_use is already called once because
// it was needed to find the mapping.
// add an element to increase the size
const int n_elem = _mesh.n_elem();
Elem *e = new Edge2;
e->set_id( n_elem*2);
_mesh.add_elem(e);
// shift all elements
for(int ie = 0 ; ie < n_elem ; ie++)
{
_mesh.renumber_elem(ie, ie+n_elem);
}
// move elements back to their new numbering
for(int inew = 0 ; inew < n_elem ; inew++)
{
const int iold = new_to_old[inew]+n_elem;
_mesh.renumber_elem(iold, inew);
}
// delete the dummy element
_mesh.delete_elem(e);
// remove the extra elements
_mesh.prepare_for_use(...);
