Summary
The primary objective of this paper is to pay the most sincere tribute to a close friend, and a giant of the discipline of engineering analysis in this century, Professor Olek Zienkiewicz, who is the single most important individual in the history of the finite element method [13] that revolutionalized the engineering world and introduced new vocabulary (‘Computational Mechanics’) into the technical literature. A far less important objective of this paper is to give a highly personalized and subjective view of how the finite element method will evolve and be applied in the coming decade or so.
