Finite element methods (FEM) are the underlying mathematical and numerical techniques for solving partial differential equations by breaking a domain into discrete elements and approximating solutions over that mesh. They form the theoretical basis for finite element analysis software and are used in engineering, physics, and applied mathematics to model structural, thermal, electromagnetic, and fluid behavior. Practitioners include engineers, applied mathematicians, and researchers developing or applying simulation software.
