Definition of FEM
It is the procedure of converting continuous model to discrete model(Finite degrees of freedom).

HYPERMESH
Step2:-Discretization of the structure(Meshing) This is the process of converting physical model to FEM model, generally this is done by HYPERMESH,ANSA etc. Step3:-Formation of element stiffness matrix.

Disadvantages
The FEM is applied to an approximation of the mathematical model of a system Experience and Judgment are needed in order to construct a good FEM Susceptible to user introduced modeling errors Poor choice of element types Distorted elements Geometry not adequately modeled

Limitations
Larger unwanted data Selection of proper mesh size is very difficult Incapable of handling incompressible fluids Obtaining material properties other than isotropic is very difficult

Basic Definitions
Geometry:-The area mathematics which deals with lines, shapes, points, angles etc Point:-It is the exact position on plane surface Line:-A set of points constitutes a line or The distance between two points Plane:-Three non collinear points defines a plane or A flat geometry with zero thickness

Free Edges A free edge is an edge that is owned by only one surface. Free edges are colored red by default. Shared Edges A shared edge is an edge that is owned, or shared, by two adjacent surfaces. Shared edges are colored green by default. Suppressed Edges A suppressed edge is shared by two surfaces but it is ignored by the auto mesher. Suppressed edges are colored blue by default.

Non-manifold Edges A non-manifold edge is owned by three or more surfaces. Non-manifold edges are colored yellow by default.
