Computational model is a mathematical model in computational science that requires extensive computational resources to study the behavior of a complex system by computer simulation.
 of solving problems in potential theory and linear elasticity It has been suggested that Elastic wave and 3-D elasticity be merged into this article or section. , the authors focus on the boundary element method The boundary element method is a numerical computational method of solving linear partial differential equations which have been formulated as integral equations (i.e. in boundary integral form).  combined with the mesh-free method. They begin by describing the boundary element method with the boundary integral equation, error estimation and thin features, followed by the boundary contour contour or contour line, line on a topographic map connecting points of equal elevation above or below mean sea level. It is thus a kind of isopleth, or line of equal quantity.  method with linear elasticity, shape sensitivity analysis, shape optimization Shape optimization is part of the field of optimal control theory. The typical problem is to find the shape which is optimal in that it minimizes a certain cost functional while satisfying given constraints. , error estimation and adaptivity. They then describe the boundary mode methods, with surface approximants, potential theory and elasticity, adaptivity for three-dimension potential theory, and adaptivity of three-dimension linear elasticity.
