Plane strain, plane stress and axisymmetric models take contact pairs and
general (self) contact on the linear edges of tri3 and quad4 elements:
edges oriented out of their elements, the edge mortar of fem with the
thickness or 2 pi r in the weights, the element's area over the edge's
length as the thickness under it, and the in-plane rows of the tangent
blocks. Verified by the contact patch test in plane strain and
axisymmetric (to 1e-9 small sliding, 1e-4 finite), Hertz's line contact
on quad4 edges (Johnson 1985, 4.3; equal to the hex8 model's to 1e-5),
and a hybrid rubber C-ring closing on itself that moves node for node as
the one-layer solid ring.

Procedure::Buckle {modes, shift}: the step's loads as a linear preload, K_σ from its stresses,
and (K + λ K_σ) φ = 0 by block Lanczos in the K inner product: K⁻¹(−K_σ) on Cholesky without a
shift, the buckling transformation (K + σ K_σ)⁻¹ K on LDLᵀ with one, whose inertia counts the
load factors below σ (Grimes–Lewis–Simon 1994). Lanczos gains an operand and an eigenvalue map
(defaults keep frequency steps bit for bit) and reports converged negative eigenvalues. Results
are frequency results with a `buckling` part; modes display with their load factor.
solve.buckle (in the Static drop-down); Abaqus *BUCKLE, Nastran SOL 105 and LS-DYNA refuse it by
name. Euler columns of hex20 within 0.18 % of Engesser's load.

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
still to come.

resolve_set_partial resolves the members of a set that are on the mesh, for
display: a set with a missing member still shows what it has, where
resolve_set refuses it. rotational_nodes is the check's rule for which nodes
have rotations (shell and beam nodes, not those of 2D sections), so the
viewport's symbols and the check agree.

* thermal: strains in 2D elements and explicit dynamics
Plane::thermal_load and stresses_with for plane stress (εzz free), plane
strain (σzz = −D₃·ε_th) and axisymmetric elements, incompatible modes
included; the solver's 2D kernels take them. Explicit dynamics turns a
step's temperature loads into a per-element thermal strain rate (reached
linearly over the step) subtracted from each strain increment, so it feeds
J2 and Johnson–Cook updates. Verified: free expansion in every 2D theory
and element, a biaxially held plate, an explicit free bar (ΔL = αΔT L,
stress-free) and a clamped bar at −EαΔT, capped at the yield stress with
perfect plasticity.

* 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).

Model: Newtonian fluid materials; fluid domains (box, spacing, conditions on
the box faces, obstacle bodies with conditions on their named faces, initial
velocity, body acceleration); fluid steps with caps. Deck writers refuse
fluid steps; a fluid-only model needs no mesh in model.check; one step
selector (Model::select_step) for every solver.
New L2 crate modelcraft-lbm: D3Q19 two-relaxation-time collision with Guo
forcing; halfway bounce-back walls (moving walls after Ladd), slip faces,
periodic pairs; Zou–He velocity and pressure faces with the D3Q19
transverse correction; obstacles voxelised from the face-tagged boundary
surface with exact predicates and symbolic perturbation; momentum-exchange
forces per box face and per B-rep face; unit conversion, automatic time step
and Mach/tau limits; bounded runs with frames and force histories.
Engine: model.fluid_domain.create/edit/delete, model.fluid_domain.boundary,
solve.fluid (obstacles from the open design or imported surfaces, lowerable
caps), solve.probe for fluid fields and wall force histories. Fluid Domain,
Inlet & Outlet and Lattice Boltzmann toolbar entries are ready.
Verification (analytic): plane Poiseuille exact with Λ = 3/16 and second
order (2.000) with Λ = 1/4; Couette exact with the wall shear; Taylor–Green
decay second order (2.01, 2.00); staircase pipe; Stokes drag of a sphere
array within 1.7% of Hasimoto at R = 6; Zou–He channel; mass conserved to
round-off; bit-for-bit reproducibility. Benchmark: Schäfer–Turek 2D-1.

Sets bind to persistent geometry names through the mesh's geometry tags
(element, element face/edge and node classification) and resolve against
the current mesh, so they survive a remesh. Steps list their active loads
and boundary conditions explicitly. Model::check names every missing or

* model: mesh-independent force distribution, tractions, stable reference point labels
Force and moment on a set default to a total, split by consistent nodal
weights over the set's faces (or equally over a node set); per_node is an
explicit opt-in. Traction is force per area. resolve() expands them to
nodal values for every writer and the solver. Reference points keep a
stored node label taken from the top of the label range.
