jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 945a2076c3 verification: implicit contact patch test and Hertz line contact
Two oracle cases: the contact patch test on non-matching meshes in small and finite sliding,
and Hertz's cylinder on a flat under force control (peak pressure, pressure distribution,
subsurface stress). docs/fem.md describes the formulation, the literature survey its papers;
ROADMAP M7 and parity are updated.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 bc75fd08d1 explicit: opt-in mass scaling to a target increment, the added mass reported
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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 a30d0b5c5b explicit: deformable contact and friction, verified by bars, sliding blocks, the patch test and Hertz
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.

Four cases, each against its closed form: uniaxial tension of a J2 cube to a
logarithmic strain of 0.2 (Kirchhoff stress exact; 0.13 % from the explicit
solver's hypoelastic Cauchy stress, the elastic volume change between the two
laws), the Bauschinger effect of linear kinematic hardening on a load path
back to zero strain (exact), Hill's elastic-perfectly plastic thick cylinder
(bore displacement at a plastic radius of 1.5a within 0.009 %, collapse
pressure within 2e-8; the pending case is now active) and a cantilever's
plastic collapse, converged 3.1 % above beam theory's hinge, the bound a

Theory cases for the nonlinear solver, each frozen as a fixture: uniaxial
stretch of a neo-Hookean block to twice its length (closed form), the
nonlinear patch test on a distorted hex8 mesh, a quarter turn of the same
mesh (objectivity: zero stress), the elastica of a hex20 cantilever at
P L²/(E I) = 1, 2, 5, 10 against Bisshopp–Drucker (0.2–0.5 %), and the
inflation of a thick neo-Hookean tube by a follower pressure against
Rivlin's closed form (0.08 % at the bore). A finite-strain Cook's membrane

5afd1addb9 Structured hex: extrude, revolve, sweep and mapped all-hex meshing (M5) (#40)
* Structured hex meshing: multi-level extrude and revolve, one-to-one sweep, mapped blocks (M5)

modelcraft_mesh::hex::hex_mesh meshes a face-tagged boundary surface with
hexahedra by the first structured method that fits: a straight or
rotational multi-level sweep (imprinted cross-section arrangement, cuts at
reflex corners, mapped/annulus/free regions), a one-to-one sweep through
rings of linking faces (least-squares affine layers with residual
correction), or a mapped logical cube (trivariate transfinite
interpolation). Interval assignment couples shared curves; boundary quads
carry B-rep face tags; the certified validity gate, a tiling check and a
fidelity check guard the output; hex20 mid-edge nodes go onto the faces.
Shape::face_surfaces exposes the analytic face surfaces; the corpus runner
gets a structured hex column.

* mesh.hex.generate: structured hex meshing as a command

Meshes one body, every body of the open design or an imported surface,
replaces the mesh, tags element faces with the B-rep faces (so sets by
geometry resolve) and reports per body the method, counts and quality.
The quality pass certifies each element once and feeds the validity gate
(quality::validity_gate_checks). Shape::size gives the cached body size
for defaults instead of a full measure.

* Hex: disk O-grids, convex interval cost, early size guard, hex20 corpus column

Smooth single-loop sections (cylinders, tori, vases) get a butterfly O-grid
instead of the free mesher; interval assignment raises counts by the
squared relative error so equal sides share increments evenly; a mesh far
beyond the element limit is refused before any work and mapped limits are
no longer swallowed. The corpus reports hex8 and hex20 quality.

* Hex: simplify review fixes

Prepare each sweep frame's cross-section once (arrangement, cuts, fill)
and reuse it across refinement retries; candidate frames come from one
setup pass. Edge triangles come from the feature edges, layer counts go
through size::edge_divisions, sweep residual weights are computed once
per node, flux shape functions live on the stack, and the arrangement's
exact side test and distances serve the region probe. The engine takes
the boundary options mesh.tet.generate takes and names unnamed faces by
index like it; the corpus hex20 run reuses the winning method; the
mapped entry lists mesh.hex.generate too; the octree icon is redrawn
under its new id.

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.

40f98f0af9 Implicit solver: fem kernels (tet4/10, hex8, hex20), sparse Cholesky, block Lanczos, solve.* commands (M4) (#23)
* Renumber the layer table for solver crates: fem at L1, solver at L2, fsi at L3

L0 model -> L1 geometry, mesh, fem, decks, render -> L2 solver (explicit, lbm later)
-> L3 fsi (later) -> L4 doc -> L5 io -> L6 engine -> L7 ui-egui, mcp -> apps.
UI_MIN_LAYER moves to 7, the testkit sits above it.

* modelcraft-fem: element kernels for tet4, tet10, hex8 (full, incompatible modes), hex20 (full, reduced)

Shape functions, Gauss and conical-product quadrature, stiffness, consistent and HRZ-lumped
mass, body forces, consistent pressure loads on faces, integration-point stresses and their
least-squares extrapolation to nodes, isotropic and orthotropic elasticity. The element table is
one row per kind, so wedges, shells and beams are added locally.

* modelcraft-solver: linear static and frequency analysis with an analytic verification suite

Assembly from the resolved model on the node graph, boundary conditions by elimination,
consistent pressure, gravity and body-force loads, nested-dissection ordering, sparse up-looking
Cholesky with a factor-size cap, reactions, integration-point and nodal-averaged stresses, von
Mises; shift-invert block Lanczos with full reorthogonalization for natural modes, participation
and effective mass. ADR 0001 records the own-linear-algebra decision (determinism, wasm).

Verified against closed forms: displacement and traction patch tests for every element, cantilever
tip deflection (Timoshenko) with convergence rates, Lamé cylinder, Kirsch hole (Kt -> 3),
cantilever and free-free beam frequencies with six rigid-body modes.

* Engine: solve.static, solve.frequency and solve.probe; results kept in the session

Results are stored per step, restored on a failed command and cleared when the model changes.
Caps (degrees of freedom, factor entries, Lanczos vectors) may only be lowered; hostile parameters
are tested against a solvable session.

* Simplify the solver: shared face integration, block assembly, cached extrapolation

- model: one face integrator (nodal::face_normal_weights) for tractions and pressures
- fem: mid-side tables from ElementKind::edges, orthotropic via inverse3, symmetric
  accumulation without a symmetrize pass, incompatible-mode recovery without K_uu, model's
  coordinate check, dead table rows removed
- solver: one pattern search per node pair (block, scalar and diagonal adds), extrapolation built
  once per element type, reactions from the prescribed rows only, matrices dropped after
  restriction, the free-body shift keyed on the factorization error, step selection in the solver,
  Error::Element naming the element
- engine: the solver owns the default step and the shift check; the model comparison runs once

2d99a8571c The .modelcraft file, undo/redo on the journal, atomic saves and autosave recovery (M3) (#21)
* modelcraft-io: the .modelcraft file (modelcraft/1), atomic writes, autosave storage

A stored ZIP of a manifest (format tag, geometry sources with SHA-256,
part sizes and hashes), the model definition as stable pretty JSON, the
mesh and geometry tags in a compact binary part, and the journal one
command per line. Reading caps every size, checks every checksum and
replays the model through its checked methods. Model::without_mesh and
empty mesh fields left out of the model's JSON; geometry::read_file.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm

* engine: undo/redo on the journal, file.open/save/save_as, autosave and recovery

CommandSpec gains a kind: Model commands are journalled and become undo
steps; Session commands (file.*, edit.*) manage the session. Undo history
is bounded by steps and estimated memory. Geometry sources are recorded
with content hashes and reopened on file.open (missing or changed files
are warnings). Desktop app autosaves every 30 s and reports recoverable
models; Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Shift+Z/Y undo and redo.

* simplify: shared path parameter, one load path for open/recover, history accounting in History

Session commands skip the per-command model copy; saved revision is an
Option; journal written from borrowed entries and read without an
intermediate tree; backups copied by the file system; recovery lock and
error helpers; geometry file wrappers use read_file.

57b4b2f4d2 Model definition: sets by geometry name, materials, sections, couplings, BCs, loads, steps, check (#16)
* model: split nodes and elements into a mesh module (no behaviour change)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm

* model: sets by geometry name, materials and units, sections, couplings, BCs, loads, steps and the check

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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm

* 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, engine: review cleanups

Validated deserialization (a file replays through the checked methods),
interned geometry tags by index, set resolution with tag bitsets and sorted
vectors, one delete policy (a load or BC listed by a step is in use),
shared helpers (context, remove_existing, step_mut, opt/req/name/listed),
dead code removed, Resolved without a per-element section map.

* 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.

One end-to-end slice first (sets bound to SolidCraft names, materials, sections, BCs, loads,
steps, three deck writers, own solve) on tet meshes; then structured hex (sweep, mapped,
automatic decomposition) before octree all-hex; then contact, materials and explicit, and
post-processing. docs/parity.md lists capabilities by milestone, with the areas where we aim
to be better than Abaqus/CAE.
