Finite Element Method is very useful powerful technique. FEM is espescially used in civil and structuralengineering disciplines, and other branch disciplines and applied sciences are also used. The main aim ofFEM is reducing the time for large problem calculations. It is a numerical method, so easy to solve withsufficient time and accurately. By using FEM analyse the structural behaviour of structures and it is alsouseful for non-structural members also. It is one of the important numerical technique. It is used to solveproblems in engineering disciplines in a mathematical way. It is used for structural analysis, fluid flow, heattransfer and mass transfer problems etc. there are number of softwares are available for FEM. In this someimportant are Ansys, Cosmos, Nisa, Nastran, Sap etc. there are most important principles are there. Whichare really useful. In this paper, we discuss about introduction to FEM, dicretization, element and node, typesof elements in FEM, some important equations.
