    Now I see!  Thanks for the clarification.<br>

            <br>
            Perhaps, I'm not fully understanding your questions, but it
            is certainly possible to create vertices in MOAB and then
            use them directly in your analysis.  There is no need to
            create an element if, in fact, all you need are the
            vertices.  Each vertex can be tagged with data in the same
            way that an element can be.<br>
            <br>
            I hope that is helpful,<br>

                                I've got the following problem:<br>
                                <br>
                                I want to create vertex entities, ie
                                create the points and vertex entities
                                using those points.<br>
                                So I've create a set of vertices from an
                                array of coordinates.<br>
                                And If you try to set the connectivity
                                for every point you get Error code 4
                                (MB_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND).<br>
                                <br>
                                This is my code:<br>
                                <br>
                                double points[6]={1,0,0, 0,1,0, 0,0,1};<br>
                                Range vertices;<br>
                                rval =
