Hi Cassiopee team,
This message to point out that Internal checkPyTree function used with level=9 does not accept negative values of the ElementConnectivity node.
However, as shown in cgns documentation here: https://cgns.github.io/standard/SIDS/grid.html#example-ngon-n-and-nface-n-element-types
ElementConnectivity may (and even should) accept negative indices, hence indicating the normal direction.
Best regards,
Luis
