9.7 CLOSING REMARKS
Details on application of conditions of symmetry and anti-symmetry have been given in this chapter. It has been emphasized that with the help of such boundary conditions, the size of the problem can be reduced significantly. Static condensation process has also been elaborated in the chapter, which can be used to reduce size of the problem and also to form a super-element. The salient features of program sfeap are presented through which computer implementation of FEM can be studied. Various storage schemes used for assembled matrix are discussed and the process of application of boundary conditions and assembly are explained. Further details of program sfeap are given in Appendices E and F.
