I send you my *.geo file (cube_gmsh.geo) to see my problem.
 I cannot define a volume, even if the plane surfaces are defined because two 
facets are not well oriented.


Question :

Hi all,

 I have a triangular mesh (facets) performed from the matlab function "tri".
I export this facets on Gmsh via my Matlab routine in order to define a volume.

It seems that some facets are not correctly defined or well oriented because I 
cannot make my volume.
I look at a simple geo file from Gmsh and I don't understand the principle or 
the logic to well oriented the facets.

Usually, the facet is defined in relation to its normal vector (i.e., clockwise 
or counter-clockwise). From the following figure, can you explain me how do I 
must define each facet or triangle ?

3------6------9
| \ T2 | \ T4  |
|   \     |   \     |
|     \   |     \   |
| T1 \ | T3 \ |
2------5------8
| \ T6 | \ T7  |
|   \     |   \     |
|     \   |     \   |
| T5 \ | T8 \ |
1------4------7

1 - 2 - ... - 9 = nodes
T1 - T2 - .... - T8 = triangles


In matlab, each facet is defined in the counter-clockwise. In Gmsh, I didn't 
manage to define a rule.

Please, can you give me more explanations on this subject ?
