The Scordelis-Lo roof and the pinched cylinder had their published
references cited but no recipe, because mesh.block's 2D form is planar
and cannot build a curved patch. Both are now active: the mesh is
written node by node (mesh.node.add / mesh.element.add, the route
docs/verification.md allows), the same cylinder patch the solver's own
benchmarks.rs builds in code, with the quarter/eighth symmetry planes,
the rigid diaphragm and the published load.
- scordelis-lo-roof-shell: 16x16 flat quad4 (MITC4) shells, R = 25,
t = 0.25, self-weight 90 per area; u_z at the free-edge mid-span
-0.3024 within 2% (ours -0.29901009815961804, 1.12% low).
- pinched-cylinder: 32x32 flat quad4 shells, R = 300, t = 3, a quarter
of the unit pinch; u under the load -1.8248e-5 within 2% (ours
-1.803845342860719e-05, 1.15% low).
Each README carries the generator (so the recipe is reproducible), the
refinement study the tolerance reason cites, and how the reference was
cited before. pinched-hemisphere and mh-twisted-beam now say what they
actually wait for: a doubly curved or helical shell mesh written node
by node, not missing shell elements.
The oracle binary (modelcraft-testkit) runs each case's recipe through the
command engine, measures its quantities by JSON pointers into step outputs
or commands, compares them with the cited references and the frozen
fixtures, and writes docs/oracle.md. 20 theory cases (patch tests of every
solid element, Timoshenko cantilevers, Lame, Kirsch, beam frequencies,
torsion and bending through couplings, explicit waves and impact, CDT
invariants), 8 published benchmarks (MacNeal-Harder patch, straight and
curved cantilevers, thick cylinder, Scordelis-Lo with solids, NAFEMS LE1,
LE10, FV32) and 10 pending cases with citations.
