Verification & validation

Follow each claim to its evidence.

Open a recorded case, inspect its model and results, then follow the versioned contract, raw record and decision. A passing calculation supports only its declared scope.

Recorded cases & original sources

Inspect the model. Then the result.

These eight case pages connect assumptions, formulation, observables, thresholds, source artifacts and final scope. Published values summarize existing records; they are not new solver executions.

4 recorded cases

External numerical correlation

Four frozen one-element linear static cases against Code_Aster 18.1.0. Agreement is limited to comparable observables on the same mesh.

1 recorded case

Gyroscopic and Campbell evidence

Formulation and tracking checks, an analytical oscillator and internal BEAM2 refinement, with ambiguity preserved.

3 recorded cases

Historical performance records

Named structured TET4 workloads and environments. Each record retains its execution source and limitations.

5M run 19.8472e−11free relative residual
5M run 11.3908e−9equilibrium relative error
5M run 11.5437e−14energy relative error
5M Silver2 / 2complete runs

Historical structured TET4 observations use named configurations. They establish no general scaling, mixed-mesh, nonlinear or hardware-independent capacity. Values are rounded from the frozen Silver replay record ↗.

Evidence method

From a model to a bounded decision.

Public records preserve the original execution identity. Viewing a result in a newer site release does not mean that campaign was rerun.

  1. 01
    Define

    Contract

    Declare the model, observables, thresholds and failure policy before execution.

  2. 02
    Record

    Execution

    Keep the exact source, inputs, environment and raw results identifiable.

  3. 03
    Challenge

    Independent checks

    Distinguish analytical checks, external numerical correlation and physical measurements.

  4. 04
    Reproduce

    Replay

    Compare recorded states, digests and observables without changing the frozen gates.

  5. 05
    Conclude

    Decision

    Read the final decision, accepted scope and unresolved limitations separately.

Qualified bounded

Accepted only for a recorded combination, model and observable scope.

Experimental or bounded evidence

Implementation and selected results are available. A successful check does not automatically promote maturity.

Not validated or research only

The evidence needed for the proposed scope is not established. Historical failures remain visible.

Package 0.2.11 retains registry 0.2.8 and separate route decisions. Read the authoritative capability definitions ↗

Campaign notes

Read decisions with their source cycle.

Implementation history, execution evidence, review and release status are separate records.

0.2.11 · Gyroscopic route

GYRO 01–06 cover analytical, formulation, tracking and internal mesh checks. A high-frequency pair remains ambiguous at 100 rad/s.

Versioned V&V summary ↗
0.2.10 · Nonlinear & external correlation

Selected material, geometry, contact and execution records have distinct boundaries. Historical WP14 remains on hold and G03 remains failed.

Versioned evidence summary ↗
0.2.8 · Maturity registry

32 of 46 historical combinations are qualified within scope; 14 remain experimental. Separate workflows do not alter these counts.
