This presentation will give an overview of major progresses made in the field, the application to many challenging engineering mechanics problems, and the future directions of this research area.ESPResSo 3.1 - Molecular Dynamics Software for Coarse-Grained Models: A. Meshfree collocation methods have also undergone significant development, which also offer a truly meshfree solution. Given the proper treatment, nodal integration can be made accurate and free of spatial instability, making it possible to eliminate the need for a mesh entirely. For instance, essential boundary conditions are almost trivial to enforce by employing the techniques now available, and the need for high order quadrature has been circumvented with the development of advanced techniques, essentially eliminating the previously existing bottleneck of computational expense in meshfree methods. In addition, a significant amount of progress has been made in addressing the major shortcomings that were present in these methods at the early stages of their development.
