Model::merge_nodes replaces merged nodes by their survivors in elements (node
order kept, so face and edge tags hold) and in set node lists, moves a vertex
tag to an untagged survivor, and refuses a merge that would collapse an

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.

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.

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.

The end-to-end demo met a raw-CDT sliver that the validity gate accepted (exactly positive) and
the solver refused. Now:
- One validity criterion, `fieldcraft_model::admissible_jacobian` (normalized Jacobian above
1e-12), used by the implicit solver (fem `positive_inverse`), the explicit tet4/hex8
kinematics and the mesh gate, which proves it on the whole element (tet4: the solvers' own
Jacobian; curved kinds: a Bernstein floor), so whatever passes the gate passes the solvers.
- CDT rounding repaired by flips on the rounded mesh (Diazzi et al. 2023 §5.1) instead of the
±2-ulp nudge.
- `fieldcraft-mesh::tet`: a mutable tetrahedral complex whose every change is a checked
replacement (positive and admissible tetrahedra, faces matched with opposite orientation) with
an exact undo log; edge removal (Klincsek), multi-face removal, Delaunay insertion with
boundary faces, edge collapse; a curvature- and thickness-graded size field; constrained
Delaunay refinement with encroachment splits; ODT smoothing; the Klingner–Shewchuk schedule;
boundary vertices moved onto the exact B-rep surfaces at the end; tet10 with mid-edge nodes on
the geometry.
- `mesh.tet.generate` gains size, order, quality, quality_target, curvature_angle, grading,
max_passes, max_points and reports the CDT's and the mesh's quality; `solve.probe` takes a set
and reports its largest von Mises stress.
- Oracle cases filleted-bracket-fillet-stress(-coarse): the fillet's peak von Mises stress on
tet10 meshes of 2k and 13.5k elements, 213.3 MPa (a four-level study stays within 1.8%); the
CDT cases keep the raw tetrahedralization.
- Corpus quality columns: all 20 valid parts mesh and pass the gate.

Two more large-strain options on the isotropic constants, decoupled like
neo-Hookean with the volume kappa/2 (J - 1)^2: Mooney-Rivlin with C10 = mu/2 - C01
(0 <= C01 <= mu/2) and Yeoh with C10 = mu/2 and the higher terms C20, C30, so the
small-strain material is the elastic one everywhere. MaterialModel::Polynomial
gives the isochoric stress and tangent from Holzapfel's fictitious quantities
(eqs. 6.168, 6.193), consistent by central differences, equal to neo-Hookean
with C10 alone; hybrid elements take it. Abaqus writes *HYPERELASTIC,
MOONEY-RIVLIN and YEOH; LS-DYNA keeps refusing hyperelastic materials in

Elements of a plastic material take the J2 material point: total Lagrangian
with nonlinear geometry, the small-strain loops without (elastic elements keep
their linear stiffness, so elastic results do not move). The plastic history is
committed per converged increment. Increments follow the step's load path,
ending at its points, the extrapolated predictor scaled by the change of the
load factor. Steps with path-dependent materials start an increment without a
predictor from the tangent predictor (the prescribed motion spread through the
converged tangent), and a first tangent that is not positive definite is a
cutback when the undeformed model's is. Refused by name: the Johnson-Cook rate
term (a static step has no time) and kinematic hardening at finite strain;
damage, erosion and adiabatic heating are left out with a warning. Results
carry the equivalent plastic strain at the integration points (solve.probe,
the step summary). LS-DYNA writes a load path as the step's curve; Abaqus
refuses it and a plastic deck of several general steps (Abaqus carries the
plastic state between them).

volumetric parts. Total Lagrangian solids (tet4, tet10, wedge6, hex8, hex20
full and reduced) and plane strain and axisymmetric elements give internal

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* mesh: element quality metrics and a certified Jacobian validity check
Bernstein-form Jacobian determinants for tet4/tet10/wedge6/hex8/hex20, certified
by bounds and subdivision (Johnen-Remacle-Geuzaine 2013); Shewchuk 2002 tet
metrics, Knupp 2001 hex/wedge/quad metrics; quality report and the validity
gate meshers run on their output.

* engine: mesh.quality command; model documents its node order
mesh.quality reports certified validity, volume and per-metric statistics with
fixed-range histograms. The model's ElementKind doc states the Abaqus/VTK node
order and that deck code reorders formats like Nastran CHEXA20.

* quality: simplify after review; exact orient3d for tet4; gate on raw mesher arrays
- tet4 validity from the exact orient3d of the input coordinates
- validity_gate_elements takes (label, kind, coordinates) straight from a mesher
- one Jacobian per solid; certify caches piece bounds; product weights precomputed
- model::check_coordinates shared by set_node and quality; ElementKind is Ord
- engine: shared labels() parameter parser

A pure-Rust CAE modeling workspace following the SolidCraft conventions:
- modelcraft-model: nodes and elements by label with hostile-input validation
- modelcraft-geometry: SolidCraft's kernel (pinned git dependency) behind our own API;
tessellation into a face-tagged boundary surface for volume meshing
- modelcraft-engine: CommandSpec registry, Session::execute with rollback and panic guard,
scripts and a journal
- modelcraft-cli: list commands, run scripts
- xtask: layers (only geometry may use solidcraft-*), assets, licences, tests, wasm, ci
- AGENTS.md, architecture, ADR 0001 (libraries and licences), roadmap, CI
