* 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.

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.

ModelCraft
An open-source, clean-room CAE modeling application in pure Rust: geometry to analysis-ready finite element models, with robust tetrahedral and hexahedral meshing, solver decks for Abaqus, Nastran and LS-DYNA, and its own linear static and modal solver. Desktop, browser and AI agents drive the same commands.
Status: early. The workspace, quality gates, the FE model, the command engine and the geometry boundary (SolidCraft's kernel and tessellator) are in place; meshing is next. See ROADMAP.md.
Build
