They use for specifying boundary conditions ,
meshing , inputting material properties along with
several other pre&post processing
Factors
• Factors that affect the result of FEM are:
mesh size/discretization level employed;
number & type of boundary condition specified;
constitutive model selected
inadequate modeling techniques or assumptions
soil type, slope angle, water content among others...
ADVANTAGES OF FEM
• its application is wide. it included on different fields like
Biomedical, Thermal and Fluid flows, Automotive
industries, design of aircrafts, biomechanical etc...
• it can handle many any type of loading conditions such as
heat flux, pressure, thermal load, gravity simulation etc,
• increased accuracy, enhanced design, a faster and less
expensive design process, higher quality products,
increased revenue and reduced chance of field failure.
Disadvantages of FEM
• successful application of FEM depends on the
formulations, appropriate parameters and proper
interpretation of the results.
