	"Finite Element" means that the beam is segmented into smaller sections and the motion of each segment adds up to produce the motion of the entire beam. Each segment consists of a Mass, Stiffness, and a Damper, and a value is assigned to each. Linear electrical circuits are simulated in the same way, but the components are Resistors, Capacitors, and Inductors.
