You can subdivide your mesh using a utility called PoseRay.
https://sites.google.com/site/poseray/
Put your mesh into an INC file, load it into PoseRay as a 3D model. Go 
to the Groups tab and then the subdivision tab there. You can decide 
which options you want to select then subdivide the mesh. Export the 
modified mesh in the PovRay output tab. Again there are more options.
I generally use "Only export geometry and materials" and Left handed.

I hope this helps
