Abstract :
The element-free Galerkin (EFG) meshless method is being widely used in problems where it is difficult to construct a good mesh or remeshing is needed. Although most of these problems include three-dimensional (3-D) domains, few works are found using the EFG in three dimensions in all areas, including electromagnetism. In this paper, we present the formulation and numerical results concerning EFG parameters in a 3-D electromagnetic problem
