Hello guys

I am trying to write a converter for 2D cases from tecplot to OpenFOAM. The file consists of the list of points and list of connectivity for each cell. The header specifies that the elements are of type quad. I read the points and extrude them in the z direction as requested by OpenFOAM 2D format. I then read the connectivity for cells adding points in the z direction in order to have hex shape.
In paraview the mesh looks pretty good but when i run checkMesh it failed to check the topology and got an error with the cellpoints method.
Is it a face orientation problem ?

Thanks for your help
