Question
A type of “element analysis” named for this adjective involves discretizing a structure into millions of points and solving a PDE at each of them before interpolating the results. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this adjective, which also precedes “difference” in a class of numerical methods for solving ODEs.
ANSWER: finite [accept finite element analysis or finite element method or finite difference method]
[10h] In finite element analysis, the structure is broken into pieces by generating one of these structures. A form of circuit analysis named for these structures involves solving for a namesake current around loops.
ANSWER: meshes [accept mesh analysis or mesh current]
[10e] A common application of FEA is in field simulation, which involves numerically solving these four fundamental equations of electromagnetism named for a Scottish scientist.
ANSWER: Maxwell’s equations
