Abstract The meshless method has a distinct advantage that it needs only nodes without an element mesh which usually induces time-consuming work and inaccuracy when the elements are distorted during the analysis process. However, the element mesh provides the geometric information for numerical simulation without the need to judge if the nodes or integration points are inside the analysis domain as in the meshless method, such as the boundary of the analysis domain which is defined by the element's edges or faces and that the integration points are intrinsically inside the elements. Because the analysis model with only nodes in the… More >
