Introduction to Finite Element Method (FEM) for Beginners 

Please Note: The total number of linear system of equations will be equal to the number of degrees of freedom, and not the number of nodes as mentioned @ 9:47 Also, find the link to the presentation in the description

I have never seen a better explanation of FEM. This video anwered a lot of my lingering questions. You are truly an outstanding teacher.

This is a very good overview of FEM, without even delving into the needed Rooms, Theorems and Definitions.

Don't stop making videos on solid mechanics. So helpful they are!!!

It is called weak form because it weakens the conditions in weighted residue statement. One no longer need satisfy double differential of solution but only single differential of solution. the most simple explanation of a complex procedure I have ever hear in my life.. Thank you sir

This may just be the best video i’ve ever watched for explaining a topic. I’ve been completely lost since my prof started this section and everything is making so much sense thank you for explaining so well

Beautiful explanation… it’s my first encounter with FEM and I’m hooked

Thank you! I like that you talk about the mathematical process and give a clear explanation.

Please continue this (FEM) series

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Gyan baatne se badhta hai.

Absolutely beautiful presentation giving a clear picture of FEM . so nice to watch it. Mashallah

Very well explained for layman

Absolutely beautiful presentation giving a clear picture of FEM . so nice to watch it.

This is a wonderful video. Thanks!!! I loved your explanation. Can you also explain the other parts of FEM? Also, it would be great if you explain what happens in the FEM softwares like ABAQUS or ANSYS. Students try to use the software without having the knowledge of which element to be chosen under which conditions and what assumptions are made while selecting the element type. If someone explains like you, it would be very easy for students to understand. Thanks in advance! :-)

Thank you sir for the simplest explaination

Thank you for your precise explanation sir..🙂🙂 Now i got an over view of FEM..🙃

Bro this is best video I have ever seen on FEA

Great explanation. From slide 7 to slide 8 phi turned into f.

Dear Sir, Glad you are back after long time. Hope you are safe and healthy. I very much request you to make a video on elastic shakedown , plastic shakedown, and ratcheting. Please respond if you read my comment.

What a overview! Amazed by mathematical explanation, please explain difference and choice between FDM, FEM, FVM, etc.

Once again you came up with an intuitive explanation.. Nice work Dr. Prithvi..

Fantastic video sir thanks for your good explanation

Please continue your good work

Very flavoured explanation. Excellent job.

Wonderful explanation - short and sweet

Amazing explanation for layman

Wow mind blowing explanation.

Nice over view

This is one of the best introductory videos to FEM. Great job!

10:10 Usally we called FEM as - Finite Elements Method .But I'm calling as " it's Not FINE Elements Method " to understand .

Best video on fem .

Amazing explanation

Thanku very much sir. Very easy to understand.

Excellent video. thankyou!.

good explanation many thanks

Wow! Great demonstration..

Great one! Want a vedio on nonlinear fem

Thank you very much

Great video.! Thank you!

Very insightful and wise. Thanks

nice to see u again sir ,please make more videos

Wow. FEM in 11 minutes!!

Absolutely loved this video. What an elegant explanation that is incredibly easy to follow.

Ohhhhh my god...you are just next level

Awesome sir. Thank you.

Good explanation. Thank you sir.

Excilent sir ji

Well described, well organized, just super... Very nice job!

Very concise and informative, thank you so much ❤

Great sir please upload more videos we are waiting

Very well explained sir.

wonderful video, thank you

Good!!!

Very clear, thanks a lot!

amazing video

Very well explained.

thanks for video.

Nice 👍

Thank you sir

Cool

very nice

Well done!

Thank you for the video! Would you recommend a programming software that is FEM friendly?

Would you recommend a student to work with software like ansys directly after taking the undergraduate courses in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics etc? Or should he take courses on fem, cfd and write his own codes before using such softwares? Is there any harm in directly using a canned software like ansys?

sir, can you explain how did the first term in the weak form occur after the integration by parts?

What is the use of fem in dynamics and earthquake engineering

thank you!

Sir, the volume of audio is very low in almost all of your videos, please raise it little.

great job !!! :)

Thank u

Tqqqq

Sir, Can you give some insights on striations and load applied on specimen?

bruh I like it can you explain FVM

Can someone try to explain how the integration by parts thing works? Thanks! I'm also starting FEM this semester and I already know its gonna be a ballbuster. This video gave me a little leap ahead :)

Please share this ppt

what is the meaning of max stress on the fixed boundary (compare the max stress on structure)in FEM simulation?

sir can you share your ppt

can i get pdf of this

But still jobs in this domain are very limited & mostly hired only IITians or foreign MS employees.

I´m an argentinian student i need subtitles please

Difficult to understand for beginners

Tamil la channel start pannuga bro

I watch the video but have no idea what is u, u with a hat, their second derivate and omage in the equations, so the whole matematical treatment makes no sense for me.

Thanks But it's hard to understand indian accent Please Try to improve your ❤️ accent

You have to improve your English, a lot!

nice.. thank you
