Abstract

Meshless Finite Difference Method (MFDM) is nowadays a powerful engineering tool for numerical analysis of boundary value problems. Nowadays, its computational capabilities are not fully used mainly due to the lack of suitable commercial software. This paper briefly presents current state-of-the-art of the MFDM solution approach as well as deals with the selected computational aspects of the MFDM. A set of Matlab functions written by the author is attached to the paper. Techniques for generation of nodes, MFD stars, formulas, equations as well as local approximation technique and numerical integration schemes are discussed there.
