The piecewise continuous field definitions used in the finite element method are used to take care of irregular boundaries and, the resultant equations from the finite element method normally consist of banded or sparse matrices ... While the finite difference method involves mathematical lumping, the finite element method uses physical lumping. 5, record 1, English, - finite%2Delement%20analysis

One of the most powerful computer analysis techniques being integrated with solid modeling is finite-element analysis, a process of separating a structure into simple elements whose stress and deflection characteristics can be determined by differential equations. The behaviour of the entire structure can be analysed by solving the set of simultaneous differential equations for all the finite elements. 6, record 1, English, - finite%2Delement%20analysis

"concepts". Although many elastic prototypes can be used to provide useful information for structures with geometries and loadings that can be approximated by these solutions, there are many practical cases of irregular geometries, non-uniform materials and non-uniform loadings that cannot be solved by the theory of elasticity. The finite element method has been devised to handle the cases that cannot be solved in the classical manner. 1, record 2, English, - finite%20element%20method

«Les concepts» : Plusieurs prototypes élastiques nous donnent des renseignements très utiles sur les structures, de formes et de charges qui sont représentées par ces solutions. Cependant, la théorie de l'élasticité ne peut résoudre plusieurs cas pratiques où les formes sont irrégulières, les matériaux et les charges ne sont pas uniformes [...] La méthode d'analyse par éléments finis a été développée pour analyser les cas que l'analyse classique ne peut pas traiter. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%27analyse%20par%20%C3%A9l%C3%A9ments%20finis
