The discussion centers on the concept of meshless modeling in engineering simulations, questioning whether it is genuinely meshless or merely a simplified version of traditional mesh methods. Participants express curiosity about the true nature of meshless techniques, with some suggesting that certain tools, like Ansys Discovery Live, may still rely on underlying mesh structures. Links to various meshless modeling resources are shared, indicating a desire for deeper understanding. The conversation highlights the ambiguity surrounding the term "meshless" and its implications for simulation accuracy and flexibility. Overall, the debate emphasizes the need for clarity in distinguishing between true meshless methods and those that utilize simplified mesh approaches.

Looking for insight on meshless FEA
Anybody have experience with it? Is it really meshless or just hiding a mesh generation?

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
