FE Rodeo

SMU Finite Element Rodeo

March 4-5, 2022

The Finite Element Rodeo is an annual conference that rotates between several universities in Texas and Louisiana. It brings together researchers and students interested in the implementation and theory of finite element methods for various applications.

The 2022 edition of the Finite Element Rodeo will be held at Southern Methodist University on Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, 2022. We invite researchers interested in finite element methods to volunteer to give a short talk, or to just attend the conference. The program will consist of talks volunteered by conference participants.
