In the past few decades, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been developed into a key indispensable technology in the modelling and simulation of various engineering systems. In the development of an advanced engineering system, engineers have to go through a very rigorous process of modelling, simulation, visualization, analysis, designing, prototyping, testing, and finally, fabrication/construction. As such, techniques related to modelling and simulation in a rapid and effective way play an increasingly important role in building advanced engineering systems, and therefore the application of the FEM has multiplied rapidly.
