Detailed Description

Abstract interface for a class that returns the (material) properties along a given distance between two points in in world coordinates.

No assumption is made on the tool used to implement the functionality.

Based on ideas discussed at the 2004 Argonne Simulation Workshop as summarized by T.Behnke.
