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 constrained Voronoi diagram partitioning the space will be used to create each of these elements.

Laplace interpolation functions are then used to model the unknown function within each element.
