+    validate_mesh(fens, fes)
+
+Validate the given mesh by checking if it satisfies certain sanity criteria.
+
+# Arguments
+- `fens`: The finite element nodes of the mesh.
+- `fes`: The finite elements of the mesh.
+
+Validate finite element mesh.
+    
+A finite element mesh given by the node set and the finite element set is
+validated by checking the sanity of the numbering:
+- the node numbers need to be positive and in serial order
+- the fe connectivity needs to refer to valid nodes
+- the finite element nodes need to be connected to at least one finite element
+
+An error is reported as soon as it is detected.
+
+# Returns
+A boolean indicating whether the mesh is valid or not.
