A mesh is made of geometric cells, the mesh elements. A finite element is a physical entity, which is supported by a mesh element. In Metafor, this is a two-steps method: first, the mesh is created, then the finite elements are applied to the mesh (this second step is done once the integration is started and programmed in the '' |
