Abstract
A complete analysis of a problem with the FEM consists of three steps:
-
the description of the problem, which consists of inputting the geometry, the finite element mesh, the physical characteristics and the boundary conditions;
-
the finite element calculation, in which the problem is put into the form of a system of equations which are then solved;
-
the extraction of results in a useful form, which comes from operating on the values found in the preceding step.
