The symmetry condition takes any plane normal ({"normal": [nx, ny, nz]}).
An inclined one holds n·u = 0 and, at shell, beam and reference point
nodes, the rotations about the two in-plane axes: constraint rows the
implicit elimination already handles, its support forces reported as
reactions. Decks: Abaqus *EQUATION, Nastran MPC sets per subcase, LS-DYNA
*BOUNDARY_SPC in a *DEFINE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM along the normal.

A node on the secondary surfaces of two ties (a chip's underside and its
sides, a cut face and an outer face) got one constraint per tie. When the
main nodes of one follow the other's main surface, the second constraint is
nearly the first again, and eliminating it divided by round-off: the Pi 5
heat model put 21.9 W more in than its 8 W. Such a node now follows the
main faces of all its ties together (balanced to 5e-11 of the power), a
node following a node that follows it back (a tie each way on one
interface) is an error naming both ties, and a tie row that still nearly
repeats the constraints before it is an error naming them.
mesh.cells ties one way by a fixed order of the cells (hex main to tet)
and makes one tie per tied cell, tie_<cell>, replacing the ties an earlier
run made, so its own ties never hold a node twice.

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.

* 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).

* fem: DofKind/DofLayout and the shape-function library with second derivatives
DofKind (Ux..Rz, T, P), DofSet, ElementDofs (per-node kinds and condensed
internal unknowns) and DofLayout: mesh nodes by label, kinds in order, then
reference points. basis::Basis covers line2/3, tri3/6, quad4/8/9, tet4/10,
wedge6/15, pyramid5, hex8/20/27 with values, first and second natural
derivatives (second-order forward AD, fem::jet) and the physical gradients,
Hessians and Laplacians with the map's second-derivative term. Tested for
Kronecker delta, partition of unity, polynomial completeness, finite
differences, affine and curved maps.

* 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).
docs/fem.md describes the DOF model and the shape-function conventions.

* solver: reference points, kinematic and distributing couplings, moments by constraint elimination
Coupled reference points get six degrees of freedom; kinematic couplings are rigid
links, distributing couplings least-squares interpolation constraints. Every
constraint row and prescribed value is eliminated master-slave (Abel-Shephard
pivot choice), so the reduced matrix stays SPD; no coupling gives the old
elimination bit for bit. Verified: rigid motion of a coupled block, clamping
through a point, distributing tension vs pressure, bending and tube torsion.

* solver: refuse oversized reductions before allocating them
A held distributing coupling point makes a dense (3N)^2 block; estimate it from
the constraint rows and refuse it against the factorization's memory budget
with a clear message, before anything is built. Other reductions with
dependents count their entries first (stopping at the budget) and reserve
fallibly.
