The isotropic elasticity splits into D_dev + K m mᵀ; an element-wise discontinuous pressure is condensed out (p̂ = K M⁻¹ Gᵀ u), leaving K_dev + K G M⁻¹ Gᵀ (Hughes §4.3–4.5). Q2–P1disc and P2–P0 are inf-sup stable; Q1–P0 does not lock; tet4 and wedge6 still lock and are refused, as are orthotropic materials (named at the section). ElementDofs counts the condensed pressures. Verified: element patch, rigid modes and totals for every hybrid kind, a block in uniaxial strain at ν = 0.4999 (exact), Lamé's cylinder in plane strain at ν = 0.4999 (hex20 1e-5, tet10 1.3e-3, hex8 2.5e-3 vs the locking displacement hex8 at −80 %). Every non-hybrid result of the test suites hashes identically before and after.

ModelCraft
An open-source, clean-room CAE modeling application in pure Rust: geometry to analysis-ready finite element models, with robust tetrahedral and hexahedral meshing, solver decks for Abaqus, Nastran and LS-DYNA, and its own linear static and modal solver. Desktop, browser and AI agents drive the same commands.
Status: early. The workspace, quality gates, the FE model, the command engine and the geometry boundary (SolidCraft's kernel and tessellator) are in place; meshing is next. See ROADMAP.md.
Build
cargo xtask ci # fmt, assets, licences, layers, clippy, tests, wasm
cargo xtask test --heavy # the heavy (ignored) tests and the doc tests
cargo run -p modelcraft-cli -- commands # every command and its parameters
cargo run -p modelcraft-cli -- run script.json # run a command script
cargo run -p modelcraft-cli -- mcp # MCP server on stdio for AI agents (docs/mcp.md)
Rust 1.95 or later, with the wasm32-unknown-unknown target for cargo xtask ci.
