Each secondary node follows the main surface under it as the weighted average
u_A = sum_J (M_AJ / sum_K M_AK) u_J with M_AJ = int psi_A N_J over the reference overlaps and
psi the secondary faces' dual shape functions (Wohlmuth 2000), so the secondary mortar
matrix is diagonal; the rows join the couplings' constraint elimination in every implicit
analysis. Uncovered secondary nodes stay free with a warning; heat transfer and explicit
dynamics refuse ties by name. Tested by the tie patch test on non-matching hex8/tet4 meshes.

An explicit step may ask for mass scaling to a target time increment (on
a set, or the whole model): elements whose stable increment is below it
get the density that reaches it, with their lumped masses, frequency
bound and hourglass scales; adiabatic heating keeps the physical
density. The run reports the elements scaled, the added mass in all and
per section with its fraction, a warning, and the added mass's kinetic
energy in the energy account. Verified on a uniform bar scaled to twice
its increment (added mass 3×, increment doubled, a quarter of the
kinetic energy left to the physical mass). ROADMAP and parity note the
hyperelastic materials and mass scaling.

Neo-Hookean, Mooney–Rivlin and Yeoh materials in explicit dynamics, in
total form from the deformation gradient (objective by construction):
the one-point hex8 takes its mean F over the undeformed element and the
stress τ/J; tet4 takes the isochoric stress of its own F with the
average nodal pressure of the decoupled volumetric energy (Bonet–Burton
at finite strain). Each element's frequency bound follows the tangent's
largest normal stiffness. Small-displacement steps and thermal strain of
hyperelastic elements are refused by name.
Verified by uniaxial strain to λ = 1.5 of all three laws on hex8 and
tet4 against the material point (to rounding), and the oracle case
explicit-neo-hookean-implicit: a quasi-static explicit pull against the
implicit nonlinear solver (lateral contraction to 0.09%, stress to 0.03%).

Segment-to-segment penalty contact between element faces: each secondary
face and each main face facing it are projected onto the secondary face's
plane, split into triangles, clipped (Sutherland–Hodgman) and integrated
with a three-point rule per sub-triangle (Puso–Laursen segmentation, the
penalty at the integration points as Fischer–Wriggers), so a uniform
pressure gives the consistent nodal forces on both meshes and the contact
patch test passes on non-matching meshes. Every contact runs both ways at
half the penalty: pairs with each surface as the secondary, general and
self contact face against face. A bucket grid of face boxes every
increment, faces integrated in parallel and their forces added in face
order: the same numbers on any thread count.
The penalty per area ε = s γ min(m/A)/Δt² comes from the lumped masses,
each node's directional area and the stable increment, bounded by
Gershgorin's row sums so contact never shortens the increment. Coulomb
friction with exponential decay by a regularised return map at the
secondary nodes; rigid walls take Coulomb impulses. Contact work and
friction dissipation join the energy balance; each contact reports its
peak force, first and last contact, deepest penetration, friction and the
nodes adjusted at the start (initial penetrations adjusted strain-free or
refused with the node, face and depth); a cap on contact faces.
Verified (crates/explicit/tests/contact.rs, tests/oracle/explicit-*):
colliding bars (2L/c +1.2%, ρcAv₀/2, KE kept to 0.005%, contact energy
back to 8e-5 of it), blocks sliding to a stop on a rigid wall and on a
plate under constant and decaying friction (0.005–0.2%), the patch test
(σ_zz uniform to 0.06%), two spheres colliding against Hertz (peak +2.3%,
duration −0.4%; the oracle case waits for a graded sphere mesher), a free
body untouched by general contact, determinism across threads. Oracle
measures gain `over` (ratios). Existing fixtures do not move.

Contact definitions on face sets: a pair (each surface's nodes against the
other's faces), general contact on a surface (self contact) or on every
exterior face of the solids; Coulomb friction with static and kinetic
coefficients and an exponential decay, a penalty scale and the choice to
adjust or refuse initially penetrating nodes, validated with caps. Rigid
walls of explicit steps gain friction. The check wants solid faces on
contact surfaces; sets used by a contact cannot be deleted.
fem::contact: the closest point of a triangle (Ericson) or a bilinear
quadrilateral (projected Newton) to a point, and a bucket grid of face
boxes for the global search, deterministic and bounded.
Commands interaction.contact.pair, .general, .edit, .delete and .find
(the touching parts of the mesh, with face sets and pairs made of them);
contacts in the model browser. Abaqus writes *SURFACE INTERACTION with
*FRICTION (exponential decay), *CONTACT PAIR and general *CONTACT; LS-DYNA
*CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE and _SINGLE_SURFACE with FS, FD, DC;
Nastran refuses contact by name. The implicit solver refuses contact by
name (M7); the explicit solver refuses it until the next commit.

A nonlinear_static procedure (nonlinear geometry, initial/min/max increments,
increment and iteration caps, force/displacement/energy tolerances, line
search), validated with caps against hostile values. Materials gain an
explicit hyperelastic option (decoupled compressible neo-Hookean on the
isotropic constants). Abaqus writes *STEP, NLGEOM, INC / *STATIC with the
increments and *HYPERELASTIC, NEO HOOKE; LS-DYNA writes the ramped implicit
run with full Newton and *CONTROL_IMPLICIT_AUTO; Nastran refuses SOL 400 by
name, as LS-DYNA does hyperelastic materials in nonlinear steps. Explicit
dynamics refuses hyperelastic materials by name; solve.run names the solver

* Implicit solver: trusses, point masses, rotary inertia and springs on the DofLayout
Trusses declare their translations like solids; point masses, inertia and
springs ask the layout for the kinds they need at their nodes (translations,
rotations), and reference points they use get six degrees of freedom. The
matrix pattern takes rows for those points; dashpots are ignored with a
warning. Existing results are bit-identical (hash-checked).

* solver, explicit: number degrees of freedom with DofLayout
The implicit mesh numbers its unknowns with a DofLayout (mesh nodes by label
with the kinds their elements declare, then six per coupled reference point);
assembly adds element blocks by (node, DofKind), so a node may carry any mix
of kinds; couplings, boundary conditions, loads and results address
(node, kind). The explicit system keeps node-major translations, now checked
against its layout (NODE_DOFS). Solid formulations declare their ElementDofs.
Every static, frequency and explicit result of the solver, explicit, engine
and io test suites hashes bit-identically before and after (957 results).
