Build a new element from an array of nodes or an array of nodes and an array of faces. If only the nodes are specified then they must be in element topology order, and new edges and faces will be created automatically were necessary. If the faces are specified then the nodes will be reordered to the correct element topology order. Optionally, an additional object may be specified to pass in more details about the element, including information specific to only certain kinds of element, such as beam end release information
