3D Finite Element Method (FEM) for Mining & Geotech
Apply the 3d finite element method (fem) to real mining & geotech problems — in the browser, with AI assistance.
This is the 3d 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 mining & geotech, teams face challenges like slope stability, groundwater, comminution. The 3d finite element method (fem) directly supports use cases such as slope fea, groundwater flow, particle dem, and PolySim's AI Copilot can recommend settings and catch common setup errors before you run.
