Question

Discretization includes __________ numbering.

(a) Element and node

(b) Only nodal

(c) Only elemental

(d) Either nodal or elemental

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

I want to ask this question from One Dimensional Problems in section One Dimensional Problems of Finite Element Method

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Element and node

For explanation I would say: The process of dividing a body into equivalent number of finite elements associated with nodes is called discretization. Discretization includes both node and element numbering, in this model every element connects two nodes.
