Applied element method

Applied Element Method (AEM) is a way of using computers to make big and complicated structures easier to understand. It helps engineers and scientists figure out how structures will work before they actually build them.

Let's say you want to build a big bridge. Before you can build it, you need to make sure it's going to be strong enough to support all the cars and trucks that will drive over it. But how can you be sure the bridge will be strong enough?

That's where AEM comes in. With AEM, you can create a computer model of the bridge. This means you can make a digital version of the bridge on your computer, where you can play around with it and see how it reacts to different forces.

In order to do this, AEM breaks the bridge down into tiny pieces called elements. Think of it like building a bridge out of Legos, but each Lego is a little bit different. Each element is designed to behave a certain way when it's put under pressure or force.

Once you've created your digital bridge model using AEM, you can start testing it out. You can apply different kinds of pressure and force to the model and see how it responds. For example, you could simulate a bunch of cars driving over the bridge at once, or a strong wind blowing against it.

By doing this, you can figure out where the weak points in the bridge are, and what might need to be changed in order to make it stronger. Then, once you've made the necessary changes to the digital model, you can be more confident that the real-life bridge will be strong enough to handle whatever comes its way.
