1) CAESAR II is a finite element program.

2) We have many, many benchmarks, comparing CAESAR II to other industry software programs, published results, and hand calculations. If you can't match results against hand calculations, then either the models are different, you made a mistake in the hand calculations, or there is something else going on that you didn't consider.

3) I don't understand "coefisien factor".
