Fundamentals of Finite Element Method

This lecture focuses on an introduction to the Finite Element Method (FEM) tailored for complex electromagnetic applications. We will explore numerical techniques for solving Maxwell’s equations in the frequency domain, emphasizing computational efficiency and accuracy. Attendees will learn about the mathematical foundations of FEM, specialized basis functions, wave ports, lumped ports, and adaptive meshing techniques used in electromagnetic simulations. Practical demonstrations will include simulations in 2D and 3D.
