}}</ref> The simple equations that model these finite elements are then assembled into a larger system of equations that models the entire problem. FEM then approximates a solution by minimizing an associated error function via the [[calculus of variations]].
 
Studying or [[Analysis|analyzing]] a phenomenon with FEM is often referred to as '''finite element analysis''' (FEA).
