  \subsection twoone 2.1. MOAB Interface
-MOAB is written in C++.  The primary interface with applications is through member functions of the abstract base class Interface.  The MOAB library is created by instantiating Core, which implements the Interface API.  Multiple instances of MOAB can exist concurrently in the same application; mesh entities are not shared between these instancesi<sup>1</sup>.  MOAB is most easily viewed as a database of mesh objects accessed through the instance.  No other assumptions explicitly made about the nature of the mesh stored there; for example, there is no fundamental requirement that elements fill space or do not overlap each other geometrically.

 Since these objectives are at odds with each other, tradeoffs had to be made between them.  Some specific issues that came up are:
 
 - Using ranges: Where possible, entities can be referenced using either ranges (which allow efficient storage of long lists) or STL vectors (which allow list order to be preserved), in both input and output arguments.
-- Entities in sets: Accessing the entities in a set is done using the same functions which access entities in the entire mesh.  The whole mesh is referenced by specifying a set handle of zero<sup>1</sup>.
-- Entity vectors on input: Functions which could normally take a single entity as input are specified to take a vector of handles instead.  Single entities are specified by taking the address of that entity handle and specifying a list length of one.  This minimizes the number of functions, while preserving the ability to input single entities.<sup>2</sup>

   \section representation 8. Structured Mesh Representation
 
-A structured mesh is defined as a D-dimensional mesh whose interior vertices have 2D connected edges.   Structured mesh can be stored without connectivity, if certain information is kept about the parametric space of each structured block of mesh.  MOAB can represent structured mesh with implicit connectivity, saving approximately 57% of the storage cost compared to an unstructured representation<sup>1</sup>.  Since connectivity must be computed on the fly, these queries execute a bit slower than those for unstructured mesh.  More information on the theory behind MOAB's structured mesh representation can be found in

 Currently, MOAB's structured mesh representation can only be used by creating structured mesh at runtime; that is, structured mesh is saved/restored in an unstructured format in MOAB's HDF5-based native save format.  For more details on how to use MOAB's structured mesh representation, see the scdseq_test.cpp source file in the test/ directory.
