[MOAB-dev] moab::ReadUtilIface

[Iulian Grindeanu]

Hello, 
I have a question about the difference in create_element and ReadUtilIFace. 
we use ReadUtilIFace in MeshKit to create new element meshes. 
It is more efficient, but there is drawback; the adjacency is not recomputed for the new elements; there is no notification sent to AEntityFactory to update adjacency for newly created elements (like the one in ErrorCode Core::create_element(const EntityType type, 
const EntityHandle *connectivity, 
const int num_nodes, 
EntityHandle &handle)) 

What is the correct way of doing it? 

If we need adjacency? 

In my scenario, I created new triangles, but after that, I needed the Skinner. It failed, because there were no adjacencies between new nodes and new triangles. 

I can always change the code to use "create_element", but is there a way to force recomputation of adjacencies after using ReadUtilIFace? 

Thanks, 
Iulian
