This collaborative work elaborated by professionals confronted daily to the use of FE methods targets young engineers, who recently graduated from university and often studied exclusively the fundamentals of the FE calculations. Its objective is to answer some recurring questions (such as the mesh size, how to smoothen the peaks, …,) to avoid some issues, and to specify what the FE cannot do. The task force favored to name the project Recommendations and Advices rather than Guide because the document aims to share applications and discuss about finite elements and not create an exhaustive guideline.
