Meshless methods, that appeared in the early nineties, constitute nowadays an appealing method for the simulation of forming processes. In this review we revisit the basic ingredients of the most common of such methods, by analyzing their theoretical foundations, applicability and limitations, and give some examples of performance to show the wide variety of situations in which they can be employed.
