What is Finite Element Modeling?

Finite Element Modeling (FEM), also known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), is a numerical technique used to solve complex engineering and mathematical problems. It works by dividing a complex object or system into smaller, simpler parts called finite elements. Mathematical equations are then applied to each element, and these equations are combined to approximate the solution for the entire system. FEM is commonly used to analyze stress, strain, heat transfer, fluid flow, and other physical phenomena in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, and biomedical engineering.
