Herein provided are methods and systems for generating finite element modelling results. Finite element method (FEM) data relating to establish a FEM problem to be solved for a portion of a physical system being analyzed is received. A FEM mesh comprising at least FEM mesh node locations relating to the portion of the physical system is generated. FEM mesh values for each FEM mesh node location are automatically generated with a microprocessor. A factor graph model comprising a plurality of random variable nodes and a plurality of factor nodes is automatically generated with a microprocessor based upon the FEM mesh node locations. A set of belief propagation update rules are automatically executed upon the factor graph model using Gaussian function parametrization and the FEM mesh values. The belief propagation update rules are iteratively executed until a predetermined condition has been met.
