In six-dimensional geometry, a pentellated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope with 5th order truncations of the regular 6-simplex.

There are unique 10 degrees of pentellations of the 6-simplex with permutations of truncations, cantellations, runcinations, and sterications. The simple pentellated 6-simplex is also called an expanded 6-simplex, constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 6-simplex. The highest form, the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 6-simplex, is called an omnitruncated 6-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

The vertices of the pentellated 6-simplex can be positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,1,1,1,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the pentellated 7-orthoplex.

A second construction in 7-space, from the center of a rectified 7-orthoplex is given by coordinate permutations of:

(1,-1,0,0,0,0,0)

Root vectors

Its 42 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group A₆. It is the vertex figure of the 6-simplex honeycomb.

The vertices of the omnitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,1,2,3,4,5,6). This construction is based on facets of the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 7-orthoplex, t_0,1,2,3,4,5{3⁵,4}, .
