fieldcraft_mesh::mirror reflects a region's tet4, tet10, wedge6, hex8 and hex20
elements across a plane. The copies list their nodes in reflected order (corners
swapped, mid-side nodes following their edges), so every copy is right-handed;
reflected_faces and reflected_edges give the copy's face and edge over the same
nodes. Copies of the nodes on the plane are merged with the originals through
join::merge_coincident, so the region and its image form one conforming mesh.

Each cell (a body of the open design) gets its own method: structured hex where
one fits (auto falls back to tet and says why), or tet. All go into one mesh.
Cells on either side of a partition are joined: where their element faces
match node for node the nodes are merged; otherwise (hex next to tet, or
different divisions) the two partition faces get a set each and a dual mortar
tie, the reported hex-tet transition. A 40 mm bar cut in half, one half hex,
the other tet, stretches F L / (E A) to 1e-6.

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
element. fieldcraft_mesh::join::coincident_nodes / merge_coincident find the
nodes within a distance of a lower-labelled survivor, deterministically.
Meshing cell by cell and mirroring use them; node merging commands will too.

General contact, on a set's faces or every exterior face of the solids, is mortar contact

node with its element and is not reached through more than half an element, paired both

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

Frictionless contact pairs enforced by an augmented Lagrangian: nodal pressures from the
mortar weighted gaps, Uzawa updates after each converged increment until the gaps are within
1e-5 of the element thickness, and the consistent tangent (outer products of the weighted
gap gradients and the pressure-weighted Hessians from the automatic differentiation of the
mortar integrals). Finite sliding searches and integrates on the current configuration every
evaluation; without nonlinear geometry the pairs and their mortar integrals are fixed in the
reference configuration (small sliding, linear and exact). The tangent's pattern takes the
face pairs' blocks; the step cuts back when the active set chatters. Initial overclosure is
offset or refused; general contact, 2D models and arc length are refused by name; the linear
analyses refuse contact by name instead of the mesh.
With contact the convergence force scale comes from the converged states, the loads and the
current state. The loads-and-reactions balance check takes the nodal reactions into its scale
(no spurious warning for a part squeezed between held faces).
Tests: the contact patch test on non-matching hex8/tet4 meshes (exact with small sliding,
to 1e-4 with finite sliding), Hertz cylinder on a flat (peak pressure within 3%, half-width
bracketed) with quadratic Newton convergence, overclosure, thread-count determinism and the
refusals; Hertz sphere on a flat (heavy).

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
