Hi Christophe,

Does this mean that this snapshot also fixes the 3D 2nd order problem?

Incidentally, I don't think I have made mention of this, but in cases 
where the higher order mesh does not crash the application, the mesh is 
unusable because of (it appears) node numbering errors of some kind. I 
may be incorrect but I base this on the fact that with 1st order 
elements calculix detects no bad elements in a mesh obtained from gmsh 
whereas any higher order  mesh from gmsh yields a majority of "bad 
elements" in calculix.

Regards,

Roland.
