            Abstract : 
A nonmanifold topology model can surmount the limitations of traditional solid models. We propose a data structure and two classes of operations, focusing on neighborhood relationships and boundary information. The domain of our study is cell decomposition in a 3D Euclidean space. The study concentrated on representing and manipulating ordering information with compact representation
