The Natural Element Method (NEM) [1] is a meshfree method to solve partial differential equation, where the elements don't have predefined nodes like the Finite Element Method, but depend on the geometry. A constraint Voronoi diagram partitioning the space will be used to create each of these elements. Laplace interpolation functions are then be used to model the unknown function within each element.
