Two more large-strain options on the isotropic constants, decoupled like
neo-Hookean with the volume kappa/2 (J - 1)^2: Mooney-Rivlin with C10 = mu/2 - C01
(0 <= C01 <= mu/2) and Yeoh with C10 = mu/2 and the higher terms C20, C30, so the
small-strain material is the elastic one everywhere. MaterialModel::Polynomial
gives the isochoric stress and tangent from Holzapfel's fictitious quantities
(eqs. 6.168, 6.193), consistent by central differences, equal to neo-Hookean
with C10 alone; hybrid elements take it. Abaqus writes *HYPERELASTIC,
MOONEY-RIVLIN and YEOH; LS-DYNA keeps refusing hyperelastic materials in
nonlinear steps by name. Verified in uniaxial and equibiaxial tension and pure
shear against the compressible closed form (exact).

Elements of a plastic material take the J2 material point: total Lagrangian
with nonlinear geometry, the small-strain loops without (elastic elements keep
their linear stiffness, so elastic results do not move). The plastic history is
committed per converged increment. Increments follow the step's load path,
ending at its points, the extrapolated predictor scaled by the change of the
load factor. Steps with path-dependent materials start an increment without a
predictor from the tangent predictor (the prescribed motion spread through the
converged tangent), and a first tangent that is not positive definite is a
cutback when the undeformed model's is. Refused by name: the Johnson-Cook rate
term (a static step has no time) and kinematic hardening at finite strain;
damage, erosion and adiabatic heating are left out with a warning. Results
carry the equivalent plastic strain at the integration points (solve.probe,
the step summary). LS-DYNA writes a load path as the step's curve; Abaqus
refuses it and a plastic deck of several general steps (Abaqus carries the
plastic state between them).

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.

* Heat transfer and thermal stress: thermal materials, temperature BCs, heat loads, heat transfer and coupled temperature–displacement steps, solve.heat
Model: Material.thermal (conductivity, specific heat, expansion, isotropic or
per axis; reference temperature), BoundaryCondition::Temperature (dof 11),
loads SurfaceFlux, Convection, HeatSource and Temperature (a field in static
steps), procedures HeatTransfer { transient (θ-method) } and
CoupledTemperatureDisplacement; checks for missing conductivity/specific
heat/expansion. fem: heat conduction kernels (conductivity, capacity,
source, face flux/film, heat flux) on the DofLayout (one T per node), thermal
strain load and stress D(ε − ε_th) for every solid formulation incl.
incompatible modes. Solver: steady and transient heat transfer, thermal loads
in static steps, coupled steps (exact one-way coupling). Engine: solve.heat,
temperature/heat-flux result fields, probes. Decks refuse heat transfer by
name. Analytic verification: slab, source+convection/flux, thick cylinder,
erfc semi-infinite solid, free/constrained expansion, bimetal strip, coupled
step.

* 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.

Truss::thermal_load and stresses_with project the thermal strain on the

- model: materials gain solver-neutral plastic (bilinear isotropic/kinematic,
hardening table, Johnson-Cook with adiabatic heating), damage (Johnson-Cook
D1-D5) and erosion (plastic strain); explicit steps gain nonlinear_geometry
(default on) and stress_rate (jaumann | green_naghdi).
- fem: rotation (Hughes-Winget, Flanagan-Taylor), plasticity (radial return,
capped bracketed Newton for Johnson-Cook, damage; the update takes the
mechanical strain increment so thermal strains can be subtracted), closed-form
hex8 gradients for deformed configurations.
- explicit: updated Lagrangian hex8/tet4, per-element material state, erosion
with reported energy, plastic work in the energy account.
- solver: warns that the linear solver uses the elastic constants of plastic
materials (results hash-identical).
- decks: Abaqus *PLASTIC (+ Johnson-Cook keywords), Nastran MATS1/TABLES1,
LS-DYNA *MAT_PLASTIC_KINEMATIC / *MAT_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_PLASTICITY; what a
format cannot express is reported as Unsupported.
- engine: model.material.plasticity, model.material.damage (catalogue ready),
explicit element probe, eroded elements in the solve summary.
Step commits before the rebase onto the DOF framework: branch explicit-x2-steps.

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
bad item; Model::resolve gives the writers' view.

* engine: model definition commands (sets, materials, sections, RPs, couplings, BCs, loads, steps, tags, check)
Each definition has create/edit/delete with its model JSON form as
parameters; model.step.activate and model.activity drive the explicit step
table; mesh.tag records where the mesh lies on the geometry; model.check
and model.set.resolve report against the current mesh. Hostile params run
against an empty and a fully defined session.

* 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.
