Abstract
The idea of meshless methods is to eliminate the mesh generation stage, which is the main disadvantage of the finite element method (or other classical discrete methods). In a meshless method, the set of separated points is placed in the domain of the structure. Interpolation functions (shape functions) are then generated not in element subdomains, but in arbitrarily placed nodal points.
