  • No modal, Newmark or harmonic promotion is implied.
  • No nonlinear, J2, Total-Lagrangian, contact, WEDGE15, mixed-mesh or unbounded arbitrary-distortion claim is made.
  • Automatic orientation repair is not claimed; coincident, nonfinite, inverted, wrong-order and negative-Jacobian geometry must fail explicitly.
  • The external correlation claim is limited to the recorded Code_Aster PENTA6 primary observables and declared tolerance classes.

Historical source note: WP08 validates the bounded Gmsh Prism 6 static workflow, declared TRI3/QUAD4 face loads, reactions/equilibrium and Gauss-point post-processing; WEDGE6 remains EXPERIMENTAL and public qualification, robustness, modal/dynamic routes, nonlinear routes and external correlation remain deferred.

Inherited evidence within the recorded scope; no new promotion is implied.

Historical source note: WP10 qualifies only the homogeneous isotropic small-strain WEDGE6 consistent-mass modal route within the declared four-level first-three-mode refinement and four same-mesh Code_Aster PENTA6 comparisons. Modes four to six remain diagnostic for refinement; static evidence is not transferred automatically, and Newmark, harmonic, nonlinear, J2, TL and contact routes remain outside this record.

The versioned registry governs these combination statuses. Any linked Code_Aster case is a separate frozen linear static correlation, not qualification of every row.

Before you solve

Check orientation, geometry, loads, materials, the selected solver and required observables. Refinement does not repair an invalid Jacobian or establish an unsupported material route.
