5. COMPARISONS
5
FDM gives values at
node points only. For
other points interpolation
is required
FDM needs larger
number of nodes to get
good results
Fairly complicated
problems can be handled
by FDM
FEM gives values at any point
including node points
FEM needs fewer nodes to get
good results
All type of complicated
problems can be handled by
FEM

FDM makes stair type of
approximation to slopping
and curve boundaries.
FDM makes point wise
approximation that is
satisfy continuity at node
points only. Along the
sides continuity are not
ensured.
FEM can consider sloping and
curved boundaries exactly.
FEM makes piece wise
approximation that is satisfy
continuity at node as well as
along sides/edges of element

7. COMPARISONS
7
It is less efficient and
more approximate
Not applicable for
nonlinearity of domain
Difficult to apply for
unusual boundary and
loading condition
It is difficult to write
general purpose
computer codes in FDM
It is more effective and
approximate
Applicable for nonlinearity of
domain
Can be applied for any
boundary and loading
conditions
It is easier to write general
purpose computer codes for
FEM formulations.
