2D Finite Element Method (FEM) for Rail & Transit
Apply the 2d finite element method (fem) to real rail & transit problems — in the browser, with AI assistance.
This is the 2d variant of the Finite Element Method (FEM). FEM approximates a continuous field with piecewise basis functions over a mesh, assembling a large sparse system that is solved for nodal values. It is the workhorse of structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analysis.
In rail & transit, teams face challenges like aerodynamics, track loading, braking thermal. The 2d finite element method (fem) directly supports use cases such as train aerodynamics, rail structural fea, brake thermal analysis, and PolySim's AI Copilot can recommend settings and catch common setup errors before you run.

- Train aerodynamics
- Rail structural FEA
