This is the repository for the source code to the publication Meshless Methods for Large Deformation Elastodynamics which can be retrieved from arxiv. The purpose of this publication is to compare the performance of a host of different meshless methods with regard to their performance in large deformation elasto-dynamic problems. This repository contains implementation of the following papers, often with some alterations:
- Gray, J. P., J. J. Monaghan, and R. P. Swift. "SPH elastic dynamics." Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering 190.49-50 (2001): 6641-6662.

Additionaly, an updated Lagrangian as well as a Total Lagrangian FEM algorithm is implemented to provide reference simulations. Results are written to disk using the legacy vtk format, which can be viewed using paraview.
mfree_iwf does not need any dependencies and has been written in C++14, although a C++11 compatible compiler might suffice (not tested). Makefiles for both a Debug and Release build are provided. mfree_iwf was developed at ETH Zurich and was written by:
- Matthias Röthlin (mroethli@ethz.ch)
- Hagen Klippel (hklippel@ethz.ch)
mfree_iwf is free software and licensed under GPLv3
