# Star-UnstructuredVolumetricMesh
-Star-UVM is C library whose purpose is to manage unstructured meshes storing
-volumetric data described by a soup of tetrahedra. One structured, the
-resulting volumetric mesh can be efficiently queried at a specific position or
-intersected by an axis aligned box.
+Star-UVM is a C library whose goal is to manage unstructured volumetric meshes
+defined by a soup of tetrahedra. Once spatially partitioned, the user can
+efficiently identify tetrahedra cut by an axis aligned box or access the
+specific tetrahedron that encompasses a given position.
+
+Only geometric data is processed by Star-UVM. No assumption is made on their
+associated properties. Either way, Star-UVM provides data, such as primitive
+indices and barycentric coordinates, needed to retrieve the properties attached
+to each tetrahedron. These properties can thus be managed externally without
+arbitrary constraints imposed by Star-UVM on their size, alignment or type.
