Thank you much for your suggestions.

Best regards

You could also use Complex_3_in_triangulation_3,
the data structure used in CGAL to represent
3D meshes, see 3D Mesh Generation chapter in
the CGAL manual.

Dear CGAL users,

I am new about CGAL, and I wanna to study this CGAL. In my research, I
need to represent non-manifold simplicial complexes with an arbitrary
domain (top edges, top triangles, top tetrahedra). Probably, I could
need a dimension-independent representation of these models. Can I use
CGAL for this? Which package I must use.

Thanks in advance

David

It depends on the exact nature of your data but Combinatorial maps
can be useful [1,2]. In general, you can use Nef_polyhedron_3 [3].
