FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

1.2. FINITE ELEMENT METHOD 5 1.2 Finite Element Method As mentioned earlier, the finite element method is a very versatile numerical technique and is a general purpose tool to solve any type of physical problems. It can be used to solve both field problems (governed by differential equations) and non-field problems.
