Within an international collaboration we compared several static and evolutionary global corona models: non-linear force-free, magneto-static, evolutionary magneto-frictional, full MHD and zero-beta MHD. The models agree on the amount of open flux, streamer location and broad magnetic topology. They disagree on the shape of helmet streamers and electric currents. Static models are better in active regions, evolutionary models better to model filaments. Our advise is to combine static extrapolations with energysation from evolutionary models.
