In the last decade a family of methods called meshless methods has been developed both for structural and fluid mechanics problems. After these ideas, a possible classification for numerical formulations may be to separate the methods that make use of a standard finite element mesh (such as those made of tetrahedra or hexahedra), from those that do not need a standard mesh, namely the meshless methods. For solving a partial different equation by a numerical method, a possible alternative may be either to use a mesh method or a meshless method. This paper discusses this issue to show that this choice is not, in the large majorities of the cases, the right question. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
