In this paper, an interpolating element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method is presented for steady-state heat conduction problems with heat generation and spatially varying conductivity. The shape function in the moving least-squares (MLS) approximation does not satisfy the property of Kronecker delta function, so an interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method is discussed, then combining the shape function constructed by the IMLS method and Galerkin weak form of the two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems, the IEFG method for heat conduction problems is presented, and the corresponding formulae are obtained. The main advantage of this approach over the conventional meshless methods is that essential boundary conditions can be applied directly. Numerical results show that the IEFG method not only has high computational accuracy, but also enhances computational efficiency greatly.
