Integration methods where force is obtained from the smoothed gravitational field.Discussion of the application of computer models to collisionless stellar systems. Two more recent computer models - i.e., the two-dimensional rod model, and the model for disks of stars - are described. It is shown that the dynamics of collisionless stellar systems can be studied by representing the system by large numbers of representative stars.
