Boundary condition, load and interaction symbols are wireframes (thin lines,
no shaded cones), so they never hide the mesh or a contour plot:
- a crossed wire triangle per constrained translation, tip on the node,
coming from outside the part where the set's faces say which side that is;
a held rotation adds a smaller triangle behind it (the double mark); fixed
shows all three axes, a symmetry plane only its normal;
- forces as open-headed arrows ending on the node, as long as four support
units at one place and 2.5 over a set, so loads and supports stay in
proportion (#78); moments as an axis line and a right-handed curved arrow
(#79); contact and tie surfaces as small squares on their faces;
- a constant size on screen at any zoom (#80): the symbol unit is the size
setting (View > Symbol size, `ui.set {symbol_size}`, 14 pt by default)
times the model length a pixel spans, rounded to a quarter of a doubling;
- spread evenly on a grid a few symbol units across, so their density follows
the screen, never more than 400 per definition;
- a layer of their own on the desktop (GPU and CPU): zooming rebuilds and
uploads the symbols only, never the mesh's scene; framing leaves them out;
- colour per kind from the theme's tokens (a new contact colour), and the
definition selected in the browser drawn in the selection colour, wider;
- depth-tested against the model with the line bias that keeps them on their
own surface; a load at a reference point or a single node and a reference
point's cross are drawn over the part (#78).
Headless pictures (MCP screenshot, `ui.render`) frame the camera first and
draw the symbols at the default size for it.

A scene's `on_top` lines are drawn after every depth-tested layer, over the
model, so a concentrated load at a point inside the part can be seen from any
side (#78). `render_layers` takes a list of overlays (the setup's symbols and
the selection highlight become separate layers), and draws every layer's
labels. `Camera::length_per_pixel` is the model length a pixel spans at the
target: the scale symbols of a fixed screen size are drawn at.

An orbit turns about the model point under the press (the pick ray's
first hit on the plot, the mesh or the design), or the centre of what is
drawn when it starts on empty space, keeps that point still on screen and
marks it while orbiting. The wheel and a pinch zoom toward the point
under the cursor; the wheel's delta is read as it arrives, so a notch
zooms in full in orthographic and perspective views alike (#273).
Mouse presets and reverse zoom come from SolidCraft (prefs.rs NavPreset,
NAV_PRESETS; MIT OR Apache-2.0): FieldCraft's own (left drag per the
navigation bar) stays the default, Ctrl + left drag from empty space
orbits in every preset. They are chosen in the display menu, settable

Zoomed in on the hex20 crank arm, the element edges and the shaded faces
did not meet (#260). The mesh is conforming; the display drew each hex20
face and edge as straight chords between corners while the mid-side
nodes lie on the curved surface (up to 0.44 mm off the chord at 3 mm),
and drew the geometry's face boundaries from the design tessellation,
off both.
Now a quadratic face is cut into triangles whose vertices are its
corners and mid-side nodes, each edge is drawn as its two halves, and
over the mesh the geometry's edges (and a hovered design edge) are drawn
as the element edges on geometry edges (`DisplayEdge::feature`), so
faces, edges, feature lines and the highlight share their vertices.

design, geometry, nodes, a mesh, something to analyse, materials and sections for the
elements, sets, the definition an edit or delete acts on, a step, a result. Session::execute
checks them before running, so a command missing one fails at once with no partial work,
naming each missing piece and the toolbar entry that provides it ("Needs a material —
Properties › Material"). Requirements are real prerequisites (the model's own reference
checks and model.check's rules), never a workflow order. engine.commands / list_commands
list them.

geometry.open with "model": "new" cleared the model but kept the session's
file path, so File > Save wrote the new model over the previous one. The path
and the revision saved there (which document the session is) were not part of
the undo state. A step now records the document when its command changed it:
the new model is untitled and unsaved; undo restores the old file and its
clean state, redo the untitled model (or the file it was saved to since).

Opening (File > Open, a drop, the recent list) a design that has none of the
bodies the model's mesh and sets are on now asks, like the unsaved-changes
prompt: Start a new model with this design (default, Enter), Keep the
current model (the status names what no longer resolves), or Cancel. The
opened session waits for the answer; the same design opens without asking.
ui.inspect shows the prompt as {"design": path}; ui.prompt answers it.

Opening a design over a model kept its mesh and every definition silently,
even when the design was another part (#145, #114). geometry.open now takes
`model`: "keep" (default: same-design reopen keeps the mesh and sets that
follow persistent face names) or "new" (clears mesh, definitions and
imported surfaces, keeps the unit system). The reply says whether the design
is `related` to the model's geometry references and lists `stale` mesh
bodies and sets. One undo step either way.

The heavy test asked the upright's top to grow within 2 % of free thermal
expansion; the clamped bore holds it back by 2.1 % on the Linux CI's tet mesh,
which differs from macOS's (#115). 3 % still catches a wrong expansion
coefficient or temperature.

Plane strain, plane stress and axisymmetric models take contact pairs and
general (self) contact on the linear edges of tri3 and quad4 elements:
edges oriented out of their elements, the edge mortar of fem with the
thickness or 2 pi r in the weights, the element's area over the edge's
length as the thickness under it, and the in-plane rows of the tangent
blocks. Verified by the contact patch test in plane strain and
axisymmetric (to 1e-9 small sliding, 1e-4 finite), Hertz's line contact
on quad4 edges (Johnson 1985, 4.3; equal to the hex8 model's to 1e-5),
and a hybrid rubber C-ring closing on itself that moves node for node as
the one-layer solid ring.

file.sample crank-arm: a 170 mm 6061-T6 crank built in SolidCraft
(crates/engine/samples/crank-arm.json), swept along z by mesh.hex.generate
as 7274 hex20 elements of 3 mm (scaled Jacobian min 0.17). The hex variant
drops the pocket floor fillet and boss chamfers, and its root arcs meet the
bosses 20 degrees off tangent so the arm's top face has no zero-angle cusp.
The square bore is fixed and 1500 N acts on the pedal hole; the faces are
picked by their surfaces, not their names. Its heavy test matches the root
bending stress to M/Z = 62.6 MPa within 3 % (0.3 % in practice).

file.sample bracket-hex: the corpus bracket split into 30 SolidCraft cells,
meshed by mesh.hex.blocks as one conforming hex20 mesh of 3 mm, clamped at
the upright and loaded at the foot. The sample's script finds the clamp and
load faces in every cell that has them. Its test matches the tip deflection
of a fine tet10 solution within 1 % and checks the clamp carries the load.

2.5 mm lattice cells (Re 83), inlet, outlet, a no-slip floor and slip walls;
the fluid step reports the force on each named face. Its test holds the
drag coefficient on the upright's frontal area between 1 and 3.5 (2.3) and
the lattice's mass change under 1 %. No picture: the viewport does not draw

file.sample rubber-seal: a gasket ring of hybrid hex8 elements in four
mapped quarter blocks, squeezed 2.5 mm between plates bonded to it
(nonlinear static, Mooney-Rivlin rubber). Its test frees the plates and

and bounds the bonded ring's extra stiffness. The plates are prescribed
displacements until implicit contact (#161) can press it into a groove.

General contact, on a set's faces or every exterior face of the solids, is mortar contact
with one face list as both sides: each face against every other one that faces it, shares no
node with its element and is not reached through more than half an element, paired both
ways. Tested by a nearly incompressible Mooney-Rivlin C-ring (hybrid hex8) closing on itself
(no penetration beyond the mortar's weak enforcement, mirror symmetry to 1e-6) and, heavy, a
rubber bellows whose folds press on each other.

Each secondary node follows the main surface under it as the weighted average
u_A = sum_J (M_AJ / sum_K M_AK) u_J with M_AJ = int psi_A N_J over the reference overlaps and
psi the secondary faces' dual shape functions (Wohlmuth 2000), so the secondary mortar
matrix is diagonal; the rows join the couplings' constraint elimination in every implicit
analysis. Uncovered secondary nodes stay free with a warning; heat transfer and explicit
dynamics refuse ties by name. Tested by the tie patch test on non-matching hex8/tet4 meshes.

A return map at the closed secondary nodes on the mortar slip in its rate form (w_A = B_A dx,
B_A = [int Phi_A N_i P, -int Phi_A N_j P]): stick within mu p_A, slip back to the cone, static
coefficient for a node that stuck in the last increment and kinetic for one that slipped; the
friction does the virtual work t . B_A dx, so a slipping interface carries mu N exactly. The
tangent is symmetrised (stick and slip stiffness kept, the coupling to the pressure and the
change of B left out; the residual is exact). Tractions and slip states are committed with the
converged increment. After a chattering cutback, nodes open by less than 1e-3 of their
element's thickness keep their penalty in the tangent for the rest of the step. Results carry
the shear traction, the slip and stick/slip status.
