Classical finite elements fail to converge when the triangulation of the computational domain contains too many degenerating elements organized in large structures. Such triangulations are however important from the practical point of view, In this talk we present a simple novel modification of the finite element method which allows to compute on meshes containing arbitrarily degenerate elements, even ones with zero or negative measure. We present the theory as well as practice of this new technique.
