The objective of the clinic project is to develop an alternative to a Voronoi tesselation package called voro++ to be used for mesh-free particle methods calculations. This includes efficiently matching existing functionality for identifying neighbors and calculating particle volumes. On top of this, the project will be able to support group specifications to be able to run calculations on subsets of the particles. The tesselator will interface with the mesh-free particle methods package created by Sandia called MOAB.
