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...

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 3, English, - finite%2Delement%20analysis
