You can use a 4D combinatorial map, and write a function that create a 
4-simplex by creating 4 tetrahedron (thanks to the function 
CGAL::make_combinatorial_tetrahedron<CMap>) and use 3-sew to glue them 
correctly.

Thanks to this function you can create several 4-simplices and use 4-sew 
operation to glue them.

Note that if you need geometry, you need to use a 4D linear cell complex 
instead of a 4D combinatorial map.
