A numerical technique for finding approximate solutions to boundary value problems for partial differential equations.
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a computational technique used to approximate the responses of complex systems, particularly in structural analysis, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics. In manufacturing, FEM allows engineers to create detailed models of products to predict their behavior under various conditions, optimizing design and reducing the need for physical prototypes.
FEM analysis of a car suspension system including stress distribution at critical joints.
Commonly used in the automotive industry to evaluate the durability and safety of vehicle components before physical testing.
Thermal analysis of an industrial heat exchanger using FEM to assess temperature distribution.
Applied in the design and optimization of heat exchangers in the power generation sector to ensure efficient heat transfer.
