The Finite Element Method

The Finite Element Method#

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a very popular method with a wide range of applications. It is an integral technique, similar to the Finite Volume Method which provide it with a number of benefits.

  • Complex geometries

  • Irregular meshing

  • Irregular material properties

  • Options to tweak the method according to the physics

  • (quasi)dynamic mesh refinement

  • Highly flexible boundary conditions

  • Ability to solve boundary physics

  • Excellent accuracy
