Explicit Finite Element Method (FEM) for Water & Wastewater

Apply the explicit finite element method (fem) to real water & wastewater problems — in the browser, with AI assistance.

This is the explicit 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 water & wastewater, teams face challenges like flow assurance, mixing and aeration, contaminant transport. The explicit finite element method (fem) directly supports use cases such as pipe-network hydraulics, aeration mixing, contaminant dispersion, and PolySim's AI Copilot can recommend settings and catch common setup errors before you run.
