Hi all,

I'm trying to convert an adaptive tetrahedral mesh generated by Sentaurus
from their grd format to Gmsh's msh format for importing in my program
which uses LibMesh. I keep getting the following error due to improperly
ordered nodes in the element:

ERROR: negative Jacobian -2.85931e-06 at point (x,y,z)=( 1.54167,        1,
  0.5059) in element 69

When I manually reorder the nodes for the above element, the error is fixed
for that element. Is there a simple way to correct the node ordering so
that I can use it in my conversion code? I tried computing the volume using
triple vector product, but I still get this error for some elements. I'm
using first order Lagrange basis functions.

Thanks!
Harshad
