[MOAB-dev] How to create a polyhedron element

[Grindeanu, Iulian R.]

Yes, the ExtrudePoly example shows how to create polyhedra by extrusion from polygons in a plane; there is no check on the correctness / closure of the volume enclosed by the set of faces ; it is the user's responsibility ; 

There is also a test in MBTest that checks the creation of a polyhedron
