When field equations for the whole continuum are written, the new unknowns will be the nodal values of the field variable. By solving the field equations, the nodal values of […]

Since the actual variation of the field variable inside the continuum is not known, we assume that the variation of the field variable inside a finite element can be approximated […]
EK25
The basic premise of the finite element method is to describe the continuous variation of the field variable in terms of discrete values at the finite element node.
EK24
The crux of the finite element method is that the values of the field variable computed at the nodes are used to approximate the values at non-nodal points in the […]
