d45a2da5b5 Explicit dynamics core: central differences, one-point hex8 with hourglass control, nodal-pressure tet4, solve.explicit (M10 X1) (#27)
* Model: explicit dynamic steps (end time, increment scale and cap, output intervals, initial velocities, rigid walls, hourglass and bulk viscosity controls); deck writers refuse them

* fem: uniform-strain hex8 and tet4 kinematics, Flanagan–Belytschko hourglass shape vectors, element frequency bound

* Explicit solver crate (L2): central differences with lumped mass, one-point hex8 with Flanagan–Belytschko hourglass control, Bonet–Burton tet4, bulk viscosity, rigid walls, energy account; wave and impact verification

* Engine: solve.explicit and solve.history commands, explicit results in the session and solve.probe; cantilever period against the modal solver

* Simplify: Model::select_step shared by both solvers, Procedure::sets/is_dynamic, fused per-increment passes without allocation, shared element tail, generic command caps

* Catalogue: solve.explicit is ready; solve.history beside solve.probe

* Rebase onto the implicit couplings work: Procedure is no longer Copy

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

cargo xtask ci                                  # fmt, assets, licences, layers, clippy, tests, wasm
cargo run -p modelcraft-cli -- commands         # every command and its parameters
cargo run -p modelcraft-cli -- run script.json  # run a command script

Rust 1.95 or later, with the wasm32-unknown-unknown target for cargo xtask ci.
