Welcome to our insightful video on General field problems form the foundation of many engineering analyses involving physical quantities such as temperature, displacement, electric potential, and fluid flow that vary over space and time. This topic introduces the formulation of general field problems using governing differential equations, boundary conditions, and material properties. It explains how these problems are represented in continuous models, where field variables are defined at every point in the domain, and why such models are often difficult to solve analytically for complex geometries.

The video further discusses discrete models used in the Finite Element Method (FEM), where the continuous domain is divided into finite elements and the field variables are approximated at specific nodal points. The transformation from continuous to discrete formulation enables numerical solution of real-world engineering problems with acceptable accuracy. This lecture is essential for understanding FEM fundamentals, problem formulation techniques, and their applications in structural, thermal, and electrical field analyses, making it highly useful for FEM courses, GATE preparation, and engineering practice.
