solver: nonlinear static analysis by Newton–Raphson with automatic increments

solve.nonlinear follows a nonlinear static step in load increments: dead
loads and prescribed displacements ramp with the load factor, a pressure
follows the deformed faces (its load stiffness symmetrised so the
supernodal Cholesky stays), the consistent tangent is refactored every
iteration with an optional line search, and an increment converges on
force, displacement and energy together. Increments start from the
extrapolated last one, grow after fast convergence and are cut back on
inversion, a non-finite or growing residual, an indefinite tangent or too
many iterations; the step stops cleanly at the minimum increment, the
increment cap or the Newton iteration limit. Elements are assembled in
parallel in label order (same bits on any thread count). Results carry
Cauchy stress, logarithmic strain, the increment history and a displacement
frame per increment, which results.frame and the results panel show.
Trusses, shells, beams, plane stress, incompatible modes, temperature and
centrifugal loads are refused by name; couplings warn that they stay
linear.
