“We note that previous SPH simulations at this scale (e.g.Marinova et al., 2008;Canup, 2005;Citron et al., 2015;Canup and Salmon, 2016) did not include material strength.”

“SPH codes have been used to model several types of giant impacts, including the putative Moon-forming impact (Benz et al., 1989, 1986, 1987; Cameron, 1997; Cameron and Benz, 1991; Canup, 2004, 2008; Canup and Asphaug, 2001) and other types of large-scale planetary collisions (Agnor and Asphaug, 2004; Genda et al.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
