Solution 1:

User names for COREGen modules must adhere to the following
restrictions:

- Up to 8 characters in length
- No filename extensions are allowed
- Must begin with a lowercase alphabetic character, a-z
  (no uppercase characters allowed)
- May include numerical digits after the leading alphabetic
  character (0-9)

These restrictions are defined in order to maximize
compatibility with the various supported CAE flows, including

The restrictions are documented in the CORE Generator User Guide.
