1. Introduction Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical technique for solving engineering problems such as structural analysis, heat transfer, fluid flow, and electromagnetics. MATLAB, with its powerful matrix manipulation capabilities and high-level programming environment, is an excellent platform for implementing FEA from scratch using M-files.
