* Model, fem and decks: point masses, rotary inertia, springs, dashpots and rod3 trusses
Model: PointMass and Spring definitions (spring | dashpot; to ground or
two-point; along a degree of freedom, a vector or the line of the ends) on a
set or reference point, resolved per node; ElementKind::Rod3. fem: rod2/rod3
truss kernel on Basis::Line2/Line3 declaring ElementDofs (translations).
Decks: Abaqus T3D3, MASS, ROTARYI, SPRING1/2/A, DASHPOT1/2/A; Nastran CONM1,
CELAS2, CDAMP2; LS-DYNA ELEMENT_MASS/INERTIA and ELEMENT_DISCRETE; what a
format cannot take is reported. Commands model.mass.* and model.spring.*.

* 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).

* fem: DofKind/DofLayout and the shape-function library with second derivatives
DofKind (Ux..Rz, T, P), DofSet, ElementDofs (per-node kinds and condensed
internal unknowns) and DofLayout: mesh nodes by label, kinds in order, then
reference points. basis::Basis covers line2/3, tri3/6, quad4/8/9, tet4/10,
wedge6/15, pyramid5, hex8/20/27 with values, first and second natural
derivatives (second-order forward AD, fem::jet) and the physical gradients,
Hessians and Laplacians with the map's second-derivative term. Tested for
Kronecker delta, partition of unity, polynomial completeness, finite
differences, affine and curved maps.

* solver, explicit: number degrees of freedom with DofLayout
The implicit mesh numbers its unknowns with a DofLayout (mesh nodes by label
with the kinds their elements declare, then six per coupled reference point);
assembly adds element blocks by (node, DofKind), so a node may carry any mix
of kinds; couplings, boundary conditions, loads and results address
(node, kind). The explicit system keeps node-major translations, now checked
against its layout (NODE_DOFS). Solid formulations declare their ElementDofs.
Every static, frequency and explicit result of the solver, explicit, engine
and io test suites hashes bit-identically before and after (957 results).
docs/fem.md describes the DOF model and the shape-function conventions.

* fem, solver: simplify after review
Block offsets resolved once per node pair; add_scalar/add_diagonal take
the kinds like add_block; one checked Jacobian inverse (dense::positive_inverse)
for the solid kernels and the basis library; static natural-node tables; the
Hessian path inverts the Jacobian once.

Owner 2026-10-13: cover the element families a full CAE code offers, simple ones first (1D and
2D). docs/elements.md lists point/discrete, 1D, 2D, shell/membrane, 3D and special-purpose
families with status and the task that brings each.
