Introduction [1]
FE modelling process allows fordiscretizing the intricate geometries intosmall fundamental volumes called finite
elements. Equations being assembled by taking
proper care of the constraints andloading.
By solving the equations, results thatdescribe the behaviour of the originalcomplex body being analyzed.

FEM Software [1]
1. Converting the geometry into thediscretised elements, and calculating
various properties for each individual
element such as geometry, materialproperties, constraints and loading.
2. Apply global equations, solving the
governing equations and obtaining theresults.
3. Interpreting the results

Pre-processor [1]
1. Modelling the geometry2. Generating the finite element mesh by
making a suitable approximation to the
geometry.3. Calculate the nodes and elemental
properties.
4. Allow specification of boundary andloading conditions.
5. Allow material properties to bespecified.
