Abstract

It is essential to evaluate the element accuracy in the finite element method. In the common qualitative tactic, the convergence curves are usually utilized. An algorithm is proposed in this paper that grades the element using the rate, monotony, and ultimate error in addition to inaccuracy. Based on the element scores in the different tests, the authors' technique can evaluate the degree of element efficiency.
