The '''finite element method''' is used for solving [[partial differential equation]]s (PDE). Solutions are acheivedachieved by either eliminating the differential equation completely (steady state problems), or rendering the PDE into an equivalent

[[ordinary differential equation]], which is then solved using standard techniques such as [[finite difference]]s, etc.
