Hi Kurt,

Glad the documentation is complete on this point. 

Cheers,
Spencer.

I figured it out. Didn't read down far enough in the documentation.

for 3-D models the hierarchy is vertices -> edges -> faces -> elements
edges are defined by two vertices. Faces are defined by three or more edges. For three-dimensional expansions, the element is defined by a list of faces.

The documentation mentions mesh edges being required for 2D and 3D, but how are they used and is there some implicit connection between them and Elements?

I would assume the only connection is the vertex Ids should match, but it's unclear to me if I might be missing something there.

Regards,
