As discussed in the previous chapters, discretization of the solution domain into an appropriate computational mesh is the first step in the finite element simulation of field problems. Main factors in the selection of a particular mesh design for a problem are domain geometi-y, type of the finite elements used in the di.scretization, required accuracy and cost of computations. In this respect, the accuracy of computations depends on factors such as ... 

In the majority of practical finite element simulations the mesh generation is conducted in conjunction with an interactive graphics tool to allow feedback and continuous monitoring of the computational grid. 

One type of computer simulation which Beeler did not include (it was only just beginning when he wrote in 1970) was finite-element simulation of fabrication and other production processes, such as for instance rolling of metals. This involves exclusively continuum aspects particles , or atoms, do not play a part.

In most VMS districts, one or two large deposits dominate a camp full of smaller deposits (e.g., Horne Mine, Noranda Matsumine, Kuroko Mattagami Lake Mine, Matagami). We use finite element simulation of hydrothermal convection and associated chemical processes in attempt to explain this spatial distribution.
