Using a framework-based FEM mini-program during teaching enables students to better comprehend the finite element method. Learning finite element method proves highly beneficial for understanding structural mechanics and fluid dynamics in engineering disciplines. The implementation typically involves MATLAB's PDE Toolbox functions or custom scripts handling mesh generation (using initmesh), stiffness matrix assembly through Gaussian quadrature integration, and boundary condition application via direct stiffness method. Through FEM study, students gain insights into material mechanical properties and simulation techniques - crucial skills for engineering and manufacturing sectors. We strongly recommend engineering students to actively learn and master finite element method concepts, including practical code implementation for solving 2D/3D partial differential equations using shape functions and isoparametric element formulations.
