Explains the mathematical principles behind FEM and how physical equations are solved numerically.
This lesson provides a rigorous introduction to the mathematical formulation of the finite element method. Participants learn how differential equations describing physical phenomena are transformed into algebraic equations suitable for numerical computation. We will explain weak formulations, discretization of the computational domain, and the assembly of system matrices used in FEM solvers. Numerical stability, convergence, and solution strategies are also discussed. A worked example demonstrates how FEM models are constructed and solved step by step.
