# Sprint Contract: MITC4 Geometry Directors
|
|
|
|
## Objective
|
|
Implement or rebuild MITC4 shape functions, natural-coordinate node order, element-center director policy, local director axes, and integration-point local bases.
|
|
|
|
## Required Reading
|
|
- /AGENTS.md
|
|
- /docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.md
|
|
- /docs/NUMERICAL_CONVENTIONS.md
|
|
- /docs/ADR.md
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
- Define `N1..N4` and derivatives for FESA natural coordinates.
|
|
- Define tying points `A`, `B`, `C`, and `D`.
|
|
- Build element-center director `Vn` from midsurface geometry.
|
|
- Build nodal `V1`, `V2`, `Vn` and integration local Cartesian basis.
|
|
- Add invalid/singular element diagnostics for near-zero normal, basis, Jacobian, and thickness.
|
|
|
|
## Allowed Files
|
|
- `include/`
|
|
- `src/`
|
|
- `tests/`
|
|
- `PLAN.md`
|
|
- `PROGRESS.md`
|
|
|
|
## Explicit Non-Goals
|
|
- Do not compute stiffness.
|
|
- Do not add Abaqus `*Orientation` or nodal normal parsing.
|
|
- Do not add mesh quality diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
## Tests To Write First
|
|
- Shape function partition-of-unity and derivative tests.
|
|
- Node order and tying-point coordinate tests.
|
|
- Flat element normal and right-handed basis tests.
|
|
- Fallback axis tests when `EY x Vn` is near zero.
|
|
- Invalid geometry diagnostic tests.
|
|
|
|
## Reference Artifacts
|
|
- None.
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Commands
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/validate_workspace.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Evaluator Checklist
|
|
- Geometry matches `docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.md`.
|
|
- The old averaged-edge basis is not used as the binding formulation.
|
|
- No stress/strain or stiffness logic is slipped into this step.
|
|
|
|
## Handoff Requirements
|
|
- Record MITC4 geometry readiness in `PROGRESS.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Do Not
|
|
- Do not silently support strongly warped/nodal-director behavior beyond the documented Phase 1 policy.
