To convert a graph into a simplicial complex, first identify all complete subgraphs (cliques) within the graph. Note that these cliques can overlap but do not collectively make a larger complete graph unless fully connected.
Conditions: The starting structure is an arbitrary graph.; The graph contains complete subgraphs (cliques).

You interpret a complete graph as a simplex by keeping its vertices and edges, then filling in higher-dimensional cells such as 2-dimensional triangular faces, 3-dimensional solids, and 4-dimensional spaces. A complete graph on k vertices forms a(k−1)-simplex.
Conditions: The starting structure is a complete graph on k vertices.; Higher-dimensional cells are filled successively between existing lower-dimensional ones.
