  2. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    The finite element method (FEM) is a popular method for numerically solving differential equations arising in engineering and mathematical modeling. Typical problem areas of interest include the traditional fields of structural analysis, heat transfer, fluid flow, mass transport, and electromagnetic potential.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_finite_element...

    GOMA is an open-source, parallel, and scalable multiphysics software package for modeling and simulation of real-life physical processes, with a basis in computational fluid dynamics for problems with evolving geometry. A generic finite element library written in C++ with interfaces for Python, Matlab and Scilab.

  4. Galerkin method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galerkin_method

    t. e. In mathematics, in the area of numerical analysis, Galerkin methods are a family of methods for converting a continuous operator problem, such as a differential equation, commonly in a weak formulation, to a discrete problem by applying linear constraints determined by finite sets of basis functions.

  5. Finite element method in structural mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method_in...

    The 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 a set of appropriate finite elements interconnected at discrete points called nodes.

    Website. www.simulia.com. Abaqus FEA[4][5] (formerly ABAQUS) is a software suite for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering, originally released in 1978. The name and logo of this software are based on the abacus calculation tool. [6] The Abaqus product suite consists of five core software products: [5]

  7. Dirichlet boundary condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition

    t. e. In mathematics, the Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed on an ordinary or partial differential equation, such that the values that the solution takes along the boundary of the domain are fixed. The question of finding solutions to such equations is known as the Dirichlet problem. In the sciences and engineering, a Dirichlet boundary ...

  8. Modal analysis using FEM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_analysis_using_FEM

    The goal of modal analysis in structural mechanics is to determine the natural mode shapes and frequencies of an object or structure during free vibration.It is common to use the finite element method (FEM) to perform this analysis because, like other calculations using the FEM, the object being analyzed can have arbitrary shape and the results of the calculations are acceptable.

  9. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    The direct stiffness method is the most common implementation of the finite element method (FEM). In applying the method, the system must be modeled as a set of simpler, idealized elements interconnected at the nodes. The material stiffness properties of these elements are then, through matrix mathematics, compiled into a single matrix equation ...
