Abstract In this paper, we focus on three issues related to applications of material point methods (MPMs) to objects with complex geometries. They are material point generation, compatibility of material points with a mesh, and sensitivity to mesh orientation. An efficient method of generating material points from a stereolithography (STL) file is introduced. This material point generation method is independent of the mesh used in MPM calculations. The compatibility between the material points and the mesh is then studied. We also show that the original MPM and the dual domain material point (DDMP) method are sensitive to mesh orientation. These issues are related to the calculation of the internal force and are concerns of the MPMs. They become more prominent when MPMs are applied to complex geometries. Our numerical results show that the recently developed local stress difference (LSD) algorithm (Perez et al. in J Comp Phys 498:112681, 2024) can be used to effectively address them.
