A tie names a main and a secondary face set and an optional position tolerance; it refers to
its sets, round-trips, is bounded in number and checked for solid faces.

Contact definitions on face sets: a pair (each surface's nodes against the
other's faces), general contact on a surface (self contact) or on every
exterior face of the solids; Coulomb friction with static and kinetic
coefficients and an exponential decay, a penalty scale and the choice to
adjust or refuse initially penetrating nodes, validated with caps. Rigid
walls of explicit steps gain friction. The check wants solid faces on
contact surfaces; sets used by a contact cannot be deleted.
fem::contact: the closest point of a triangle (Ericson) or a bilinear
quadrilateral (projected Newton) to a point, and a bucket grid of face
boxes for the global search, deterministic and bounded.
Commands interaction.contact.pair, .general, .edit, .delete and .find
(the touching parts of the mesh, with face sets and pairs made of them);
contacts in the model browser. Abaqus writes *SURFACE INTERACTION with
*FRICTION (exponential decay), *CONTACT PAIR and general *CONTACT; LS-DYNA
*CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE and _SINGLE_SURFACE with FS, FD, DC;
Nastran refuses contact by name. The implicit solver refuses contact by
name (M7); the explicit solver refuses it until the next commit.

resolve_set_partial resolves the members of a set that are on the mesh, for
display: a set with a missing member still shows what it has, where
resolve_set refuses it. rotational_nodes is the check's rule for which nodes
have rotations (shell and beam nodes, not those of 2D sections), so the
viewport's symbols and the check agree.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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.

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.
