'''Finite element method''' ('''FEM''') is a popular method for numerically solving [[differential equation]]s arising in engineering and [[mathematical models|mathematical modeling]]. Typical problem areas of interest include the traditional fields of [[structural analysis]], [[heat transfer]], [[fluid flow]], mass transport, and [[electromagnetic potential]]. Computers are usually used to perform the calculations required. With high-speed [[supercomputer]]s, better solutions can be achieved and are often required to solve the largest and most complex problems.
FEM is a general [[numerical analysis|numerical method]] for solving [[partial differential equations]] in two- or three-space variables (i.e., some [[boundary value problem]]s). There are also studies about using FEM to solve high-dimensional problems.<ref>{{Cite journal
