BEM means Boundary Element Method. It is a numerical method somewhat comparable to FEA (Finite Element Analysis). The major advantage of it is that it does not require meshing the whole volume of a body but its surface only. Unfortunately there are disadvantages for nonlinear problems. You can find more on this using the common Internet search engines... Hopre this helps... Peter Robert B.
