Does it fix your problem? <br>
If you find issues, can you send me the vtk file?<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So if you save points on vtk you have such thing where no connectivity and no cell definition.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><font color="#0042aa">POINTS 2 double</font></div>
<div><font color="#0042aa">10.0 0 0</font></div>
<div><font color="#0042aa">-10.0 0 0</font></div>
<div><font color="#0042aa">CELLS 0 0</font></div>
<div><font color="#0042aa">CELL_TYPES 0</font></div>
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
</div>
<div>but if you want to can include connectivities and cel definition as follows</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">POINTS 2 double</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">10.0 0 0</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">-10.0 0 0</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">CELLS 2 4</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">1 0 </font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">1 1</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">CELL_TYPES 2</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">1</font></div>
<div><font color="#0056d6">1</font></div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
This way, Paraview and VisIt can recognise points as elements and consequently can visualise them.

Now I see! Thanks for the clarification.<br>
<br>
So are you connecting the vertices to themselves? What is the element type in VTK for such an element?<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>

dummy is 0, which is an invalid handle, but should be the handle(s) of the entities whose connectivity you're setting; I suspect what you want there is *vertices.begin(). And you can't set connectivity until you make an element, so you need to call create_element,
probably with the number of verts per element as 1 and the connectivity just the single vertex defining the point element.<br>

I've got the following problem:<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>

rval = moab.create_vertices(points,2,vertices); CHKERR_PETSC(rval);<br>
