    Finite element method is a numerical method that can be used for solving engineering problems. It is particularly useful for problems involving complex geometries, combined loading and material properties. Finite element solution generally follows the following steps: 1. Discretize (subdivide) body and select element type; 2. Select a displacement interpolation function; 3. Define strain-displacement and stress-strain relations.
