- TL;DR
- Looking for insight on meshless FEA
Anybody have experience with it? Is it really meshless or just hiding a mesh generation?
Is Meshless Modeling Truly Meshless or Just a Simplified Mesh?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers around the concept of meshless modeling, specifically questioning whether tools like Ansys Discovery Live and SimSolid truly operate without a mesh or if they simply simplify mesh generation. Participants reference Wikipedia's overview of meshfree methods and express skepticism about the actual meshless capabilities of these tools. The consensus suggests that some so-called meshless methods may still rely on underlying mesh structures that are not user-modifiable.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of meshfree methods in computational modeling

Welcome to the PF. 
Interesting, I hadn't heard of that before...

thanks. yes I had seen all that in the Wikipedia. but I think there is talk about meshless that really is just a simplied mesh that you can't alter underneath. Ansys Discovery live says it's meshless but it is really? This one I don't now about:
