1Finite element method in structural mechanics — Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful technique originally developed for numerical solution of complex problems in structural mechanics, and it remains the method of choice for complex systems. In the FEM, the structural system is modeled by… …
2Finite element updating — Finite element model updating is a process of making sure that finite element analysis results in models that better reflect the measured data than the initial models. It is part of Verification Validation (V V) of numerical models.This process… …
3Finite element method — The finite element method (FEM) (sometimes referred to as finite element analysis) is a numerical technique for finding approximate solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) as well as of integral equations. The solution approach is based …
4Finite element machine — The Finite Element Machine (FEM)[1] was a late 1970s early 1980s NASA[2] project to build and evaluate the performance of a parallel computer for structural analysis. The FEM was completed and successfully tested at the NASA Langley Research… …

8Engineering treatment of the finite element method — This is a draft of a new explanation as suggested on . The finite element method (FEM) is a technique for finding approximate solutions to differential equations that is particularly useful in engineering. As of 2005, FEM is the primary analysis… …
9List of finite element software packages — This is a list of software packages that implement the finite element method for solving partial differential equations or aid in the pre and post processing of finite element models. Open source * CalculiX is an Open Source FEA project. The… …
10Impact Finite Element Program — Impact is an open source finite element program suite which can be used to predict most dynamic events such as car crashes or metal sheet punch operations. They usually involve large deformations and high velocities. It is written in… …
