Grid Dependency and Mesh Convergence: The solution to a FE problem is dependent on the mesh size. The obtained FE solution tends to the actual solution as the mesh is made finer, but with a consequent increase in computing time. It is therefore necessary to reach an optimum mesh size to obtain a fairly accurate solution…
