  Never heard of Symmetrix, but both the meshers are not open, so we can't really make changes.
I am not sure what answer you are looking for, however I have written code to take a simple
cell <--> vertices description to a Sieve-type mesh already (C++) which is in PETSc. Is this
what you want or something fancier?
