ABSTRACT

The tasks involved in an MFree analysis are choice of the size of the influence domain, search of the nodes for the influence domain, computation of nodal weight, which is a coefficient that controls the dimension of the influence domain, generation of the background mesh, and selection of the integration scheme. MFree2D performs all these tasks. Techniques used in MFree2D 1.0 are listed in Table 16.1. The table includes references to relevant chapters and sections of this book for detailed explanations of each technique.
