Class 3 Error Reports – CivilFEM powered by Marc

The CivilFEM error classification system consists of three classes. Class 1 errors are those that do not affect the software functionality (such as text issues or minor bugs). Class 2 errors are those that prevent the correct use of the program (crashes, unhandled exceptions, non-functional buttons, or other similar issues). Class 3 errors are those where the program appears to work correctly but returns incorrect calculation results that could go unnoticed. Therefore, Class 3 errors are reported and their fixes are published to help users track and verify them when using CivilFEM in real engineering cases.
