| Polyhedron is defined by |
| * a sequence of nodes defining all facets |
| * a sequence of number of nodes per facet |
| |
| **Nodes**: |
| Node1_of_Facet1, Node2_of_Facet1, ..., NodeN_of_Facet1, |
| Node1_of_Facet2, Node2_of_Facet2, ..., NodeN_of_Facet2, |
| Node1_of_FacetM, Node2_of_FacetM, ..., NodeN_of_FacetM |
| |
| **Quantity** of nodes per facet: |
| NbNodes_in_Facet1, NbNodes_in_Facet2, ..., NbNodes_in_FacetM |
| |
| For example the polyhedron shown in the image below is defined by nodes |
| [ 1,2,3, 1,4,5,2, 2,5,6,3, 3,6,4,1, 4,7,9,5, 5,9,8,6, 6,8,7,4, 7,8,9 ] |
| and quantities [ 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3 ] |
| |

| :align: center |
| |
| Order of nodes of a facet must assure outward direction of its normal. |
