It is a modification of finite element method. The method divides the domain concerned into sections of infinite length. In contrast with a finite element which is approximated by polynomial expressions on a finite support, the unbounded length of the infinite element is fitted with functions allowing the evaluation of the field at the asymptote. The number of functions and points of interpolations define the accuracy of the element in the infinite direction. The method is commonly used to solve acoustic problems and allows to respect the Sommerfeld condition of non-return of the acoustic waves and the diffusion of the pressure waves in the far field. == References == - [[Professional Practice/Project Delivery Methods]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Elements and Typologies]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Educational Architecture]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 02 - Administration]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/Energy Codes]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 11 - Sustainability]] - [[Environmental Design/Climate Responsive Design]] - [[Design/Architectural Design]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials/Building Material/Timber and Wood Products]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services/Section 6 - ICT Installations]]
