Bummer. Matt - Never is a very strong word. Don’t underestimate the power of mappings and/or AMR. Also, sparse grid techniques haven’t (yet) proven to be particularly useful for kinetic problems.

History: We did have a version for arbitrary dimension called ADDA written by a student of David Keyes, that exists in the bowels of Git. We are unlikely to replicate it because regular grids in high dimension never seem like the right thing to do. Thanks, Matt Barry > On Oct 17, 2017, at 1:15 PM, Hittinger, Jeffrey A.
