PROGRESS
Purpose
PROGRESS.md is the shared chronological status log for FESA agents.
Every new agent session must read this file together with PLAN.md before planning or editing. Keep this file factual: what changed, what was verified, what is blocked, and what remains risky.
How To Use
- Add a new entry whenever a meaningful planning, documentation, implementation, verification, or review task is completed.
- Include date, agent or author when known, changed files, verification performed, and follow-up items.
- Record blockers explicitly.
- Do not use this file as a future task list. Put future tasks in
PLAN.md. - Do not remove history unless the user explicitly asks for archival cleanup.
Current Status
Phase 1 has a completed rebaseline execution path in phases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline. Steps 0 through 15 are complete, and P1R-15 recorded a pass-with-documented-gaps evaluator closeout. The follow-up architecture refactor phase in phases/1-structure-alignment-refactor is underway because the current production implementation is concentrated in include/fesa/fesa.hpp instead of the module directories documented in docs/ARCHITECTURE.md; P1A-00 and P1A-01 are complete, so the next step is P1A-02 Core/Util extraction. quad_02_phase1.inp is the normalized Phase 1-compatible input path for the stored quad_02 S4 reference pair, while the original quad_02.inp remains preserved unsupported provenance. Core numeric aliases, DOF mapping, validation harness, model diagnostic context, the Phase 1 parser/domain subset, validation/singular diagnostics, DofManager/reaction foundation, minimum result model metadata, displacement CSV comparator foundation, MITC4 geometry/director scaffolding, MITC4 displacement/strain/tying row scaffolding, MITC4 material/transform/integration scaffolding, MITC4 stiffness/drilling/internal-force scaffolding, MITC4 patch/locking-sensitivity tests, full-space assembly, reduced projection, sparse-pattern scaffold, solver adapter injection, full-vector internal/reaction force state, active AnalysisModel construction, input-to-AnalysisState-to-U/RF result workflow, and the first stored Abaqus displacement regression have been revalidated. Full PRD Phase 1 completion still depends on the open architecture/reference gaps R-014, R-010, and R-013. The old phases/1-linear-static-mitc4 path is historical and superseded after the MITC4 formulation reset.

Summary:
- Added architecture module scaffold headers and matching source directories for
Analysis,Assembly,Boundary,Core,Element,IO,Load,Math,Material,Property,Results, andUtil. - Added
include/fesa/ModuleInfo.hppto record the module list and stable umbrella facade header policy without changing solver behavior, and exposed it through the existingfesa/fesa.hppumbrella. - Updated CMake to discover current and future
src/**/*.cppfiles under the module directories. - Added an include compatibility smoke test that includes all module headers before
fesa/fesa.hppand checks the module list plus existing DOF mapping still works. - No production symbols were moved from
include/fesa/fesa.hppin this step.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding the smoke test; it failed as expected becausefesa/Analysis/Analysis.hppdid not exist yet. - After adding the scaffold and CMake wiring,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1A-02 Core/Util extraction while preserving all public symbols and behavior.
- Keep R-014 open until P1A-09 independently accepts the final architecture alignment.
2026-05-05 - P1A-00 architecture drift audit completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
phases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step0-architecture-map.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Confirmed the Phase 1 architecture drift: production code is concentrated in
include/fesa/fesa.hpp,src/fesa.cpponly holds static assertions, andtests/test_main.cppholds all Phase 1 tests. - Added a module-by-module migration map assigning current Phase 1 production symbol groups to
Analysis,Assembly,Boundary,Core,Element,IO,Load,Math,Material,Property,Results, andUtil. - Recorded behavior locks for the refactor: no parser-scope changes, no MITC4 formula changes, no numerical convention changes, no reference tolerance changes, no reduced-vector RF recovery, no Abaqus execution requirement, and no MKL/TBB/HDF5 dependency introduction.
- Identified contract refinements that later steps should resolve carefully:
AnalysisStatebelongs toCoreindocs/ARCHITECTURE.md, the basicMaterialdomain record is needed before IO extraction, andNode/Elementrecord ownership should avoid aCoreto element-kernel dependency cycle. - Marked P1A-00 completed and moved the active objective to P1A-01.
Verification:
- Before writing the audit artifact,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
- After writing the audit artifact and status updates,
phases/index.jsonandphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/index.jsonparsed successfully,git diff --checkpassed, andpython scripts/validate_workspace.pypassed again.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1A-01 module scaffold and umbrella facade.
- Keep R-014 open until the full structure-alignment refactor passes P1A-09.
- Keep R-010 and R-013 visible; P1A-00 does not solve missing Abaqus reaction CSV or the three-reference PRD target.
2026-05-05 - Phase 1 structure-alignment refactor phase planned
Author: Codex
Changed files:
phases/index.jsonphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/index.jsonphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step0.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step1.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step2.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step3.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step4.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step5.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step6.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step7.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step8.mdphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/step9.mdPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added a dedicated Phase 1 structure-alignment refactor phase to correct the architecture drift where production code is concentrated in
include/fesa/fesa.hpp. - Decomposed the refactor into 10 Harness steps: audit, scaffold/facade, Core/Util plus Boundary/Load/Property extraction, Math/Solver extraction, IO parser extraction, Results/reference extraction, MITC4 geometry/strain extraction, MITC4 material/stiffness extraction, Assembly/Analysis extraction, and independent evaluator closeout.
- Updated
PLAN.mdwith R-014 and P1A-00 through P1A-09 so new agents can execute the refactor without private context.
Verification:
- Parsed
phases/index.jsonandphases/1-structure-alignment-refactor/index.jsonwith PowerShellConvertFrom-Json. - Verified all 10 structure-alignment step files contain the required sprint contract sections from
docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md. python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Start with P1A-00 architecture drift audit.
- Keep R-010 and R-013 visible; the structure refactor does not solve missing reaction CSV or the three-reference PRD target.
2026-05-04 - P1R-15 evaluator closeout completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
phases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/step15-evaluator-report.mdphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonphases/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Performed the independent closeout review for the
1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaselinephase. - Recorded a PASS verdict for the rebaseline sprint sequence, with product-level Phase 1 reference gaps explicitly documented instead of silently approved.
- Marked P1R-15 complete and marked the rebaseline phase complete in the phase registry.
- Updated
PLAN.mdso the next work is closing R-010 and R-013 before claiming full PRD Phase 1 completion.
Verification:
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- R-010 remains open: add Abaqus reaction-force CSV artifacts, preferably
*_reactions.csv, or explicitly adopt internal equilibrium tests as the Phase 1 RF verification basis until Abaqus RF output is available. - R-013 remains open: add enough additional small Abaqus S4 reference cases for the PRD target of three stored references: one single-element case, one simple multi-element plate/shell case, and one curved shell benchmark.
2026-05-04 - P1R-14 stored reference regression completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
tests/test_main.cppdocs/VERIFICATION_PLAN.mdreferences/quad_02_notes.mdphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added a fixture discovery test that keeps
references/quad_02.inpas unsupported Abaqus/CAE provenance while verifyingreferences/quad_02_phase1.inpis the accepted executable Phase 1 derivative. - Added the first automated stored Abaqus displacement regression: run
quad_02_phase1.inp, extract FESA/results/steps/Step-1/frames/0/fieldOutputs/U, and compare againstreferences/quad_02_displacements.csvby node id. - Used the documented tolerance for this reference pair:
abs_tol = 1.0e-12,rel_tol = 1.0e-5,reference_scale = 1.0. - Updated verification/reference notes so
quad_02_phase1is no longer a future regression target; it is now active test coverage.
Verification:
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
- Stored reference result:
quad_02_phase1.inpdisplacement regression passed againstquad_02_displacements.csvusing the tolerance above.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-15 independent evaluator closeout.
- R-013 remains open: Phase 1 still needs enough additional stored Abaqus S4 reference cases for the PRD target of three stored references: one single-element case, one simple multi-element plate/shell case, and one curved shell benchmark.
- R-010 remains open: no
quad_02_reactions.csvor other Abaqus reaction CSV exists yet, soRFremains verified by internal full-vector equilibrium.
2026-05-04 - P1R-13 linear static workflow completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added an explicit
AnalysisModelvalue object for the active Phase 1 linear static step, including active element ids, boundary/load indices, shell section indices, and material keys. - Added
buildLinearStaticAnalysisModel()and routedLinearStaticAnalysisthrough it before DOF mapping, assembly, solve, state update, and result writing. - Preserved the one-step Phase 1 execution boundary with a diagnostic for multiple parsed steps instead of silently executing them.
- Added
runLinearStaticInputString()so parser diagnostics, domain validation diagnostics, active model construction, solve,AnalysisState, andU/RFresult writing are exercised as one workflow. - Extended the in-memory result model with element type metadata and ensured result writing uses the active model step name.
- Added tests for active model activation without mutating
Domain, multiple-step rejection, input-to-resultU/RFschema readiness, full-vector reaction balance, and parse/validation error propagation through the workflow.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 13 tests; it failed as expected becauseAnalysisModeland input-string workflow APIs did not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-14 stored-reference displacement regression using
references/quad_02_phase1.inpandreferences/quad_02_displacements.csv. - Step 13 intentionally did not add nonlinear, dynamic, pressure, thermal, HDF5, multi-step execution, or stored Abaqus CSV regression behavior.
2026-05-04 - P1R-12 assembly sparse solver path completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added deterministic reduced sparse-pattern scaffolding from
DofManagerelement equation connectivity, preserving int64 equation and nonzero counts for the future sparse/MKL path. - Added
projectToReducedSystem()so constrained/free projection is a named assembly boundary instead of being embedded directly insideLinearStaticAnalysis. - Extended
AssemblyResultto carry full-space stiffness, full external load, reduced sparse pattern, and diagnostics. - Reworked assembly to call the rebuilt MITC4 stiffness result path directly and preserve full-space
K_full/F_fullfor reaction recovery. - Added solver injection to
LinearStaticAnalysisso the deterministic Gaussian solver remains the default test adapter while future MKL-backed solvers stay behind theLinearSolverinterface. - Added
AnalysisState::f_internal_fulland verifiedRF = Fint_full - Fext_full = K_full * U_full - F_full. - Added tests for deterministic sparse pattern ordering, reduced projection with known displacement, full-space assembly/load preservation, reduced residual satisfaction, solver adapter injection, and singular solver diagnostic propagation.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 12 tests; it failed as expected because reduced sparse pattern, projection, solver injection, andf_internal_fulldid not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-13 linear static workflow revalidation from Phase 1 input through
UandRFresult fields. - Step 12 intentionally did not add MKL/TBB APIs, stored Abaqus reference comparison, pressure loads, or a production sparse matrix storage backend.
2026-05-04 - P1R-11 MITC4 patch and benchmark tests completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
tests/test_main.cppdocs/VERIFICATION_PLAN.mdphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added reusable MITC4 test helpers for analytic displacement/rotation fields, local strain sampling through the tied strain-row path, and a one-element cantilever smoke model.
- Added constant membrane patch tests that verify uniform local
[eps11, eps22, gamma12]at all2 x 2 x 2samples and positive physical energy. - Added pure bending, pure transverse shear, and pure twist patch tests to exercise through-thickness bending behavior, MITC transverse shear tying, and bilinear twist/shear interpolation.
- Added a drilling-sensitivity negative check proving membrane patch energy is not hidden by the artificial drilling scale when no drilling DOF participates.
- Added a thin one-element cantilever strip test that verifies tip displacement grows materially as thickness decreases, providing early shear-locking sensitivity coverage before stored Abaqus reference regression.
- Documented the Step 11 analytic patch layer and kept Scordelis-Lo as a deferred benchmark scaffold until pressure-load support and a stored curved-shell reference artifact are defined.
Verification:
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-12 assembly, solver-adapter boundary, constrained solve, and full-vector RF recovery revalidation.

2026-05-04 - P1R-10 MITC4 stiffness and drilling completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added tests and implementation for MITC4 element stiffness accumulation using tied strain rows, transformed material matrices, and
2 x 2 x 2integration samples. - Added a stiffness result API that exposes local physical stiffness, local drilling-stabilized stiffness, global stiffness, integration-point count, drilling reference diagonal, and drilling stiffness metadata.
- Replaced the old default drilling scale with the documented
drilling_stiffness_scale = 1.0e-3and applied it to the minimum positive physical local stiffness diagonal before global transformation. - Added diagnostics for invalid drilling scale and missing positive drilling reference diagonal.
- Added tests for stiffness symmetry, drilling scale sensitivity, rigid translation zero energy, documented drilling-only energy, and
f_int_e = K_e u_econsistency. - Routed
MITC4ElementKernel::stiffnessthrough the rebuilt formulation path so later assembly uses the Step 7 through Step 10 MITC4 helpers.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 10 tests; it failed as expected because the MITC4 stiffness/drilling/internal-force APIs did not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-11 MITC4 patch, locking-sensitivity, and benchmark tests.
- Step 10 intentionally did not tune the drilling scale to a reference case, add stress/resultant output, introduce reduced integration/hourglass logic, or rebuild sparse/global assembly beyond routing the existing kernel to the new element formulation.
2026-05-04 - P1R-09 MITC4 material integration scaffolding completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added tests and implementation for the documented isotropic local plane-stress shell material matrix in strain order
[eps11, eps22, eps33, gamma23, gamma13, gamma12], withsigma_33 = 0and transverse shear correctionkappa = 5/6. - Added material diagnostics for invalid elastic modulus, Poisson ratio, and shear correction factor.
- Added
2 x 2 x 2Gauss integration point infrastructure with unit weights and total natural-domain weight8. - Added covariant-to-local strain transformation and
D_convected = T^T D_hat T, including identity and flat-element energy-equivalence tests. - Added MITC4 material integration sample scaffolding that carries integration basis, tied strain rows, local material, strain transform, and convected material for the later stiffness rebuild.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 9 tests; it failed as expected because the MITC4 material/integration APIs did not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-10 MITC4 stiffness/internal force rebuild, six-DOF local-to-global transform, and drilling stabilization.
- The legacy
MITC4ElementKernel::stiffnesspath still needs to be rebuilt against the Step 7 through Step 9 formulation helpers; Step 9 intentionally did not add reduced integration, hourglass logic, stress/result output recovery, or the final drilling stiffness policy.
2026-05-04 - P1R-08 MITC4 covariant strain tying completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added MITC4 tests for global rotation to local
alpha,beta,gammamapping and verified drillinggammadoes not enter the physical director increment. - Added degenerated-continuum displacement interpolation tests at the midsurface and through-thickness points, including rotation-driven
q_k = -V2_k alpha_k + V1_k beta_kbehavior. - Added direct covariant strain-row finite-difference tests in the documented order
[eps11, eps22, eps33, gamma23, gamma13, gamma12]. - Added MITC tying tests proving FESA
A/Csigns forgamma13andB/Dsigns forgamma23, and proving Gauss-point shear rows are interpolated from tying rows rather than using direct Gauss-point transverse shear. - Implemented reusable MITC4 displacement derivative, direct strain evaluation, direct strain-row, tied strain-row, and row-evaluation helpers for later material/integration and stiffness steps.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 8 tests; it failed as expected because the MITC4 displacement/strain/tying APIs did not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-09 material matrix, transform, and
2 x 2 x 2integration scaffolding. - The existing stiffness kernel still needs to be rebuilt against the new row APIs in steps 9 and 10; Step 8 intentionally did not integrate stiffness, add material transforms, or add S4R behavior.
2026-05-04 - P1R-07 MITC4 geometry and directors completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md

A,B,C, andD, and edge-node mapping. - Added Phase 1 MITC4 geometry structures for natural points, tying points, center midsurface derivatives, center-normal director policy, nodal director frames, and integration-point local Cartesian bases.
- Implemented the documented center director policy
Vn = normalize(G1_c x G2_c), nodalV1 = normalize(EY x Vn)with deterministic fallback axes, and right-handedV2 = Vn x V1. - Added integration-basis construction from degenerated-continuum covariant basis vectors and diagnostics for invalid thickness, singular center normal, singular basis, and near-zero Jacobian.
- Replaced the legacy
computeLocalBasis()internals with the new center-director geometry policy while leaving stiffness/strain/drilling reimplementation to later steps.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 7 tests; it failed as expected because the MITC4 geometry/director API did not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-08 degenerated-continuum displacement, covariant strain rows, and MITC shear tying.
- The existing stiffness kernel still needs to be rebuilt against the new formulation in steps 8 through 10; Step 7 intentionally did not add stiffness, stress, strain, or S4R behavior.
2026-05-04 - P1R-06 results model and displacement CSV comparator completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppdocs/RESULTS_SCHEMA.mddocs/VERIFICATION_PLAN.mdphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added result model tests for Phase 1 root metadata, frame
0metadata, and mandatoryU/RFfield labels, positions, entity type, and global basis. - Extended the in-memory result model with solver/schema metadata, linear-static frame metadata, nodal field metadata, and mandatory
U/RFdescriptions while keepingS,E, andSFoptional. - Added string/stream-based Abaqus displacement CSV loading so tests can cover required headers, duplicate node labels, missing/non-numeric node labels, and nonnumeric component values without temporary files.
- Strengthened displacement comparison so it matches by node id, verifies exact FESA
Ucomponent labels and nodal/global metadata, rejects duplicate actual node ids, reports missing FESA nodes, and uses combined absolute/relative tolerances.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding Step 6 tests; it failed as expected because the result metadata fields and string CSV loader did not exist yet. - After implementation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-07 MITC4 geometry, node order, tying points, directors, and local bases.

*_reactions.csvartifact is provided.
2026-05-04 - P1R-05 DofManager and reaction foundation completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added DofManager tests for six-DOF global ordering, noncontiguous node-id stability, constrained/free partitioning, equation numbering, full-vector reduction/reconstruction, element sparse-connectivity inputs, and a full-system reaction recovery formula.
- Extended
DofManagerwith full DOF addresses, constrained full-index lists, full-vector reduction, element full-index connectivity, and element equation-id connectivity while keeping equation ids outsideNodeandElement. - Added
recoverFullReaction(K_full, U_full, F_full)and routedLinearStaticAnalysisthrough it so reaction recovery remains a full-vector operation rather than a reduced-vector shortcut. - Updated assembly to consume element full DOF indices from
DofManager, preserving DofManager ownership of sparse-pattern inputs.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding tests; it failed as expected because the new DofManager/reaction APIs did not exist yet. - After implementing the DofManager and reaction-foundation APIs,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-06 results model and displacement CSV comparator foundation.

*_reactions.csvartifact is provided.
2026-05-04 - P1R-04 validation and singular diagnostics completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added negative validation tests for missing node/property/material references, missing shell-section/boundary/load sets, missing set members, non-positive shell thickness, invalid boundary/load DOFs, no active elements, no free DOFs, isolated free DOFs, and weak drilling DOF smoke coverage.
- Strengthened
validateDomainso it reports missingNsetnode members, missingElsetelement members, non-positive or non-finite shell thickness, invalid Abaqus DOF ranges, no-free-DOF states, free DOFs untouched by active element connectivity, and free drilling DOF weak-stabilization warnings. - Kept mesh quality diagnostics out of Phase 1; no aspect ratio, skew, warpage, or distortion diagnostics were added.
- Added keyword context to solver size, solver singularity, and fallback no-free-DOF diagnostics.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding tests; it failed as expected on the missing new diagnostics. - After implementing the validation diagnostics,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-05 DofManager and reaction-foundation revalidation.
- Keep RF reference CSV availability open; current Phase 1 RF validation remains internal full-vector equilibrium until a stored
*_reactions.csvartifact is provided.
2026-05-04 - P1R-03 parser/domain subset completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppdocs/ABAQUS_INPUT_SUBSET.mdphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Added parser acceptance coverage for repeated explicit sets, generated
*Nsetand*Elset,Dexponent numeric input, keyword-line continuation, and every Phase 1 structural input keyword. - Expanded unsupported-feature coverage for
S4R,Part,Assembly,Instance,*Include,*Density, andNLGEOM=YES. - Added negative coverage for unsupported parameters and flags on otherwise supported keywords, unsupported shell-section data modes, malformed numeric fields, and invalid DOF fields with file, line, and keyword diagnostics.
- Tightened the parser so supported keywords reject unknown parameters/flags, fixed-width data rows reject extra non-empty fields, generated sets require exactly
first,last,increment, and keyword continuation lines are assembled before keyword parsing. - Clarified
docs/ABAQUS_INPUT_SUBSET.mdso the strict parameter and fixed-width data-row rules are explicit.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding unsupported-parameter tests; it failed as expected because the parser still accepted supported keywords with unknown controls. - After implementing strict keyword-control rejection, validation passed.
- Added keyword-continuation tests and first observed the expected failure; after implementing continuation handling,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-04 validation and singular diagnostic coverage.
- Keep
Part/Assembly/Instance,S4R,*Density, andNLGEOM=YESoutside the Phase 1 parser until an ADR and parser contract intentionally broaden the subset.
2026-05-04 - P1R-02 core harness guardrails completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
include/fesa/fesa.hpptests/test_main.cppphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Strengthened C++ guardrail tests for centralized numeric aliases:
Real,GlobalId,LocalIndex,EquationId, andSparseIndex. - Expanded DOF mapping coverage to prove all six shell DOFs round-trip with Abaqus DOF numbers
1..6, labels, and invalid DOF rejection. - Added compile-time type checks so the core aliases remain
doubleand signedstd::int64_t. - Added model-validation diagnostic context through a shared
makeDiagnostichelper and populated source keywords for element, shell section, boundary, cload, analysis model, and missing target diagnostics. - Kept the existing CMake/CTest validation path as the real repository validation command.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding tests; it failed as expected because model diagnostics did not yet populate source keywords. - After implementing the diagnostic guardrail,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-03 parser/domain subset revalidation.
- Leave MITC4 stiffness and parser feature expansion to later dedicated steps.

Summary:
- Preserved
references/quad_02.inpandreferences/quad_02_displacements.csvunchanged as the original Abaqus/CAE S4 reference provenance. - Added
references/quad_02_phase1.inp, a normalized Phase 1-compatible derivative input that removesPart/Assembly/Instance,*Density, restart/output requests, and unsupported step metadata while preserving ids, connectivity, material, shell thickness, fixed boundary nodes, load node, and load magnitude. - Added
references/quad_02_notes.mdwith provenance, compatibility, unit-system, result mapping, tolerance, and RF limitation notes. - Added tests proving the original
quad_02.inpremains unsupported provenance, the normalized input parses into 121 nodes and 100 S4 elements, andquad_02_displacements.csvloads 121 node rows. - Updated reference and parser documentation so the normalized file is the accepted
quad_02path for future Phase 1 stored-reference regression.
Verification:
- First ran
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyafter adding tests; it failed as expected becausequad_02_phase1.inpdid not exist yet. - After adding the normalized input and documentation,
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully. - CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-02 core harness guardrails.
- Keep
RFverified by internal full-vector equilibrium until a*_reactions.csvartifact is provided.
2026-05-04 - P1R-00 rebaseline audit completed
Author: Codex
Changed files:
phases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/step0-audit.mdphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonPLAN.mdPROGRESS.md
Summary:
- Audited the existing C++ Phase 1 implementation against the revised paper-based
docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.mdwithout changing production solver behavior. - Classified reusable scaffolding for revalidation: CMake/CTest validation, core aliases, DOF mapping, diagnostics, parser/domain skeleton, in-memory
U/RFresults, displacement CSV comparator, full-vector reaction recovery, and the linear static workflow. - Identified MITC4 conflicts requiring rebuild: averaged-edge local basis, 2D projected Jacobian, direct Cartesian-like shear row construction, membrane/bending/shear pre-integration, midsurface-only
2 x 2integration, and old1.0e-6drilling stabilization. - Preserved the compatibility decision that
quad_02.inpis an S4 reference artifact but still containsPart/Assembly/Instanceand*Density, so Step 1 must choose a normalized-input or explicit parser-compatibility path.
Verification:
- Inspected
include/fesa/fesa.hpp,tests/test_main.cpp, current reference files, and active rebaseline phase contracts. python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.
Follow-up:
- Continue with P1R-01 reference onboarding.
- Revalidate retained scaffolding in its assigned steps before treating it as Phase 1 evidence.

Summary:
- Added a new 16-step Phase 1 rebaseline phase that supersedes the old Phase 1 execution path while preserving the old phase as historical record.
- Split the redo into audit, reference onboarding, core guardrails, parser/domain, validation diagnostics, DOF/reaction foundation, results/comparator, MITC4 geometry, MITC4 covariant strain tying, material/integration, stiffness/drilling, patch benchmarks, assembly, linear static workflow, stored-reference regression, and evaluator closeout.
- Updated
PLAN.mdso new agents executephases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaselineand treat the old1-linear-static-mitc4phase as blocked/superseded. - Kept unresolved decisions visible:
quad_02normalization versus explicit parser compatibility sprint, RF CSV availability, and the PRD target of three stored Phase 1 reference cases.
Verification:
- Parsed
phases/index.jsonandphases/1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaseline/index.jsonwith PowerShellConvertFrom-Json. - Verified all 16 rebaseline step files contain the required sprint contract sections from
docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md. python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Start with
python scripts/execute.py 1-linear-static-mitc4-rebaselinewhen ready. - Step 1 must resolve how to use
quad_02without silently expanding parser support.

Summary:
- Read the local MITC4 paper set under
docs/Paper/and rewrotedocs/MITC4_FORMULATION.mdas the new Phase 1 formulation contract. - Replaced the earlier simplified baseline with degenerated-continuum geometry, convected covariant strain components, FESA/Abaqus S4 tying-point convention, MITC transverse shear interpolation, local/global six-DOF rotation transformation,
2 x 2 x 2Gauss integration, and thesis-backed drilling stabilization usingdrilling_stiffness_scale = 1.0e-3. - Updated ADR-018, numerical conventions, and documentation readiness notes so the old
1.0e-6averaged-edge baseline is no longer the active rule. - Recorded
quad_02as the new stored S4 reference pair while keeping itsPart/Assembly/Instanceand*Densityfeatures outside automatic Phase 1 parser acceptance. - Updated
PLAN.mdso the next work is a Phase 1 redo/rebaseline, not continuation of the old P1-15/P1-16 path.
Verification:
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed.
Follow-up:
- Draft new Phase 1 redo sprint contracts against the revised MITC4 formulation before modifying solver code.
- Decide whether
quad_02.inpshould be normalized into the current parser subset or used to justify a dedicated Abaqus/CAEPart/Assembly/Instanceparser sprint. - Decide whether Phase 1
RFgets Abaqus*_reactions.csvartifacts or remains verified by full-vector equilibrium tests.

Summary:
- Added a CMake/CTest C++17 build and test harness, and updated
scripts/validate_workspace.pyto run CMake configure, build, and CTest directly. - Added core numeric aliases, DOF mapping, diagnostics, Domain entities, Abaqus Phase 1 parser, Domain validation, DofManager, dense test matrix, deterministic Gaussian solver, in-memory result model, displacement CSV loader/comparator, MITC4 baseline stiffness kernel, full-system assembly, and
LinearStaticAnalysis. - Closed the Phase 1 MITC4 baseline decisions in
docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.md: midside shear tying interpolation, averaged-edge local basis, 2x2 integration,drilling_stiffness_scale = 1.0e-6, and mandatoryU/RFoutput scope. - Added ADR-017 for the CMake/CTest build harness and ADR-018 for the Phase 1 MITC4 baseline closure.
- Added tests for parser acceptance/rejection,
quad_01unsupported provenance, validation diagnostics, DOF reconstruction, singular solve diagnostics, result fields, CSV loading/comparison, MITC4 shape/stiffness behavior, and end-to-end linear static RF recovery. - Marked phase steps P1-01 through P1-14 completed in
phases/1-linear-static-mitc4/index.json. - Marked P1-15 blocked because no Phase 1-compatible Abaqus S4 reference case exists yet; P1-16 remains pending behind that blocker.
Verification:
python scripts/validate_workspace.pyconfigured CMake, builtfesa_coreandfesa_tests, and ran CTest successfully.- CTest result: 1 test executable passed, covering 12 named in-repo test cases.
Follow-up:
- Add at least one Phase 1-compatible Abaqus
TYPE=S4linear static input and matching*_displacements.csv. - Add or explicitly defer
*_reactions.csv; current RF validation is by internal full-vector equilibrium/reaction tests. - After reference artifacts are added, unblock P1-15 and run stored-reference regression, then complete P1-16 evaluator closeout.

- Kept readiness blockers visible, especially MITC4 formulation decisions, build-system selection, reference comparator tolerance, missing reaction CSV, and the need for Phase 1-compatible
TYPE=S4references. - Updated
PLAN.mdso new agents can find and execute the active phase files.
Verification:

Known Blockers
- Phase 1 architecture is not yet accepted: production code is concentrated in
include/fesa/fesa.hppinstead of thesrc/module layout documented indocs/ARCHITECTURE.md. - No reaction-force reference artifact exists yet under
references/. - The PRD target of three stored Phase 1 reference cases is not yet satisfied; only
quad_02_phase1is an active stored displacement regression. - The current initial
quad_01.inpreference containsS4R,Part/Assembly/Instance,*Density, andNLGEOM=YES, so it is not a Phase 1 parser acceptance case as-is.
Current Risks
- Implementation could start from the
quad_01reference input without accounting for its unsupported Abaqus features. - Implementation could treat the old MITC4 kernel as authoritative even though it conflicts with the revised formulation contract.
- Future work could accidentally parse the original
quad_02.inpinstead of the normalizedquad_02_phase1.inpbefore parser compatibility is explicitly expanded. - Reaction output may be wrong if full-space stiffness/load data is not preserved or reconstructed.
- Large-model support may be weakened if any module narrows ids or sparse indices below int64.
- The structure-alignment refactor could accidentally change solver behavior unless each step preserves characterization tests and
quad_02_phase1regression coverage.
