Inverse connections

- -This relationship has a particularity that the order of bounded -entities has not a direct meaning. Also the number of bounded entities -is not fixed. - -\b Example: The edges surrounding a node. The 3rd edge has no more -sense that the 5th one. - -

Direct connections

- -This relationship has a particularity that the order of bounding -entities is meaningful. The number of bounding entities is fixed and -depends on the type of the entity (hexahedron, tetrahedron,?). - -\b Example: An edge is composed of two nodes. A face is composed of 3 -or 4 edges depending if we are dealing with triangles or quadrangles. - -The connections are not only restricted to entities of one dimension -higher or lower.
