Application of FEM

• In the field of Mechanical /Aerodynamics/ automobile/civil
• Heat transfer
• Fluid flow
• Electric and magnetic field
• Biomedical Engineering Problem

Advantages of FEM

• FEM can perform complex analysis
• It can handle complex geometry
• It can handle complex boundary condition and loading conditions
• It can handle anisotropic and non homogeneous material
• It is enable to computer programming

Disadvantages of FEM

• High computational time
• Required better computers and memory units
• Required trained and skilled operators
• Need to validates the result
• In fluid dynamics FVM is better then FEM
