This tests the hGridFindParticleContacts routine.

Particle are inserted into a square domain using an insertion boundary. Then we find all particles close to the center and give them a velocity.

    // create dpm setup, set necessary variables (time step, domain, name, species)

    dpm.speciesHandler.copyAndAddObject(species);
 
    // define an insertion boundary and use it to insert particles;
    // note, the boundary is not added to the dpm, it is only used to insert particles initially
