Claim:
1. A method of creating an analysis-suitable geometry from a discrete point set, comprising: discretizing a set of digital points or receiving a set of digital points that are discrete, wherein one point in the set of digital points originates internally with respect to an outer perimeter of an object to be modeled; automatically computing a smoothing length at each discrete point; computing a representative volume at each discrete point; constructing a first continuous geometry via an implicit mathematical representation through a mesh free Galerkin method, wherein constructing the first continuous geometry includes a moment matrix invertible everywhere in a domain and becomes linearly dependent as limits of the domain are approached; and connecting the first continuous geometry with a second continuous geometry to allow the first and second continuous geometries to interact during a simulation, wherein each continuous geometry represents a discrete point set and the connection is modeled after linear springs.
