The C3D6 element is a general purpose wedge element (2 integration points). The shape functions can be found in [1]. The node numbering follows the convention of Figure 68.

This element is included for completeness, however, it is probably not
very well suited

the 15-node wedge element instead.
The F3D6 element is the corresponding fluid element.
