docs/formulations/mitc4-shell-formulation.md는 이 baseline의 6자유도 및 고정 drilling 안정화 계약과 정렬함 - reference_inventory_state: full-integration FESA-MITC4의 Abaqus acceptance comparison은
reference/shell/의 S4 input/displacement CSV만 기존 경로와 이름 그대로 사용함; S4R source support는 reference artifact 없이 mapping/kernel/HDF5 tests로 검증함
Purpose
이 baseline은 승인된 Abaqus .inp subset의 4절점 S4 또는 S4R 요소를
FESA의 단일 MITC4 formulation으로 매핑하고, 소변형·소회전 선형 정적 해석을 수행해
검증 가능한 절점 및 쉘 요소 결과를 authoritative results.h5에 기록하는 다음
end-to-end 기능을 정의한다.
FESA는 Abaqus S4 또는 S4R formulation을 재현한다고 주장하지 않는다. 두 source
element type은 같은 FESA MITC4 formulation으로 매핑하며 source type과 internal
formulation identity를 분리해 보존한다. Abaqus reference comparison은 병진변위
U1/U2/U3만 pass/fail에 사용하고 회전 UR1/UR2/UR3은 비차단 warning evidence로
사용한다.
이 문서의 승인은 MITC4가 현재 제품에 구현되었다는 뜻이 아니다. Research, Formulation, Numerical Review, I/O, Reference Model, Implementation Planning 및 이후 검증 gate가 순서대로 완료되어야 제품 기능이 된다.

*ELEMENT, TYPE=S4and*ELEMENT, TYPE=S4Rto the same FESA MITC4 formulation without claiming Abaqus formulation equivalence. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-003 — The model and result metadata shall preserve the source element type separately from the internal
FESA-MITC4formulation identity. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-004 — Each accepted shell element shall contain exactly four distinct source nodes in the documented bilinear quadrilateral order, and the original source element identity shall remain stable through diagnostics and results.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-005 — Each shell node shall expose global DOFs
[UX, UY, UZ, URX, URY, URZ]in that exact order; equation IDs shall not be stored in Node or Element records. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-006 — The material subset shall accept homogeneous isotropic

*SHELL SECTION, MATERIAL=<name>with one finite constant thicknesst > 0per section assignment. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-008 — Every active shell element shall resolve to exactly one shell section and exactly one material; missing, conflicting, duplicate or unresolved assignments shall be model errors.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-009 — A model may contain multiple element sets, constant-thickness shell sections and isotropic materials, but every individual element shall remain single-layer and homogeneous.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-010 — Composite data, section offset, distributed/nodal thickness, explicit director/normal input and user-defined material orientation shall be rejected as unsupported rather than ignored.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-011 — The initial nodal director shall be a dimensionless unit vector in the positive thickness direction; scalar thickness shall remain a separate property and shall not be encoded in the director magnitude.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-012 — The positive element normal candidate shall be derived deterministically from the source node order and midsurface covariant tangent cross product.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-013 — At a smooth shared node, consistently oriented incident element normal candidates shall be combined by deterministic area-weighted averaging and normalized to form the common nodal director.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-014 — Nonfinite or zero normal candidates, a nonfinite or zero averaged director, and opposing incident orientations shall fail model validation; this feature does not introduce a calibrated smooth-patch angle.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-015 — A physical fold or hinge shall be represented with duplicated source nodes so each smooth shell patch owns a separate director; the solver shall not silently average a discontinuous director field.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-016 — Element geometry validation shall reject duplicate nodes, self-intersection, nonfinite coordinates, zero area, and nonpositive or nonfinite Jacobians at every formulation-required Gauss and tying location; this feature does not introduce calibrated distortion or warp thresholds.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-017 — The solver shall support nodal
*BOUNDARYtargets resolved by source node label or node set for global DOFs 1 through 6, including existing zero and nonzero prescribed-displacement semantics. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-018 — The solver shall support nodal
*CLOADforces on DOFs 1 through 3 and nodal moments on DOFs 4 through 6 after deterministic aggregation in global coordinates. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-019 — The aggregated nodal moment component parallel to the approved nodal director shall be rejected as
unsupported-drilling-load; a drilling-direction moment shall not be carried only by numerical stabilization. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-020 —
*DLOAD, pressure, gravity, body force, edge traction and follower load shall remain unsupported at parser/CLI level even if a formulation-only equivalent-load kernel is later tested. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-021 — The accepted parser subset shall include the existing identity-preserving node, set, material, assembly, boundary, load and single-static-step keywords plus
*ELEMENT, TYPE=S4|S4Rand the approved single-layer*SHELL SECTIONsubset. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-022 — Identity
*PART/*ASSEMBLY/*INSTANCEwrappers and multiple identity instances shall preserveSourceEntityId; instance transforms, nested assembly and dependent/independent mesh semantics shall remain unsupported unless separately approved. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-023 — Output-request keywords in the existing no-op allowlist shall not alter mandatory FESA results, and unsupported model-affecting keywords outside the allowlist shall be errors.
Architecture and Execution Requirements
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-024 —
Domainshall own parsed shell elements, material/section assignments, source identity and initial directors;AnalysisModelshall expose the active single-step view without copying Domain objects. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-025 —
DofManageralone shall own six-DOF node definitions, full/free equation numbering, constraint mappings, shell scatter maps and sparse-pattern ownership. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-026 — Linear-static
AnalysisStateshall own only the solution, force/residual/reaction, shell recovery and energy rows needed by this procedure and shall not preallocate nonlinear director history, iteration state, velocity or acceleration. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-027 — Element-local shell calculations shall use independent buffers and global sparse assembly shall preserve stable source-element ordering, deterministic COO ordering and fixed reduction independent of thread count.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-028 — The linear-static lifecycle shall assemble and partition stiffness, factorize
Kff, then assemble loads, formFf-Kfc*dc, substitute, reconstruct the full displacement, recover the full residual and only then commit results. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-029 — Constrained reactions and free-equilibrium evidence shall be recovered from the assembled full residual
K*d-F; the shell feature shall not define reaction by separately summing recovered element resultants. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-030 —
S4andS4Rsource elements with identical geometry, properties, constraints and loads shall execute the same FESA MITC4 numerical path; only preserved source metadata may differ.
Numerical Formulation Boundary Requirements
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-031 — The physical MITC4 kernel shall use three translations and two director-tangent rotations per node and shall not treat the drilling rotation as a physical strain variable.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-032 — The six-DOF element embedding shall transform global nodal rotations into two director-tangent components and one director-parallel drilling component using deterministic right-handed orthonormal frames.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-033 — The drilling contribution shall be a symmetric positive numerical stabilization of the four director-parallel coordinates and shall not define a physical drilling strain or load channel.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-034 — Let
R+be the finite strictly positive diagonal entries of the physical local stiffness belonging only to the eight director-tangent rotational DOFs. The element shall usek_ref=min(R+),k_d=10^-3*k_ref,K_drill_local=k_d I4, and the documented drilling transformationT_d; translational diagonals shall never enterR+. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-035 — Drilling stabilization shall not contribute to physical membrane, bending or transverse-shear generalized strain/resultant, section-point stress, or separately reported result quantities.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-036 — An otherwise accepted element with no finite strictly positive entry in
R+shall fail numerical validation deterministically; coefficient sweeps, plateau selection, conditioning calibration, artificial-energy ratios, and drilling-specific result datasets are outside this feature. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-037 — Source
S4Rshall not select reduced integration or Abaqus hourglass control; all acceptedS4andS4Rinputs shall use the single quadrature and MITC tying contract approved by the FESA formulation. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-038 — The stabilized element shall retain exactly six physical rigid-body modes within the approved normalized tolerance, preserve stiffness symmetry and coordinate-transformation energy, and have positive energy for every accepted non-rigid physical deformation mode.
Output Requirements
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-039 — The sole authoritative solver output shall be HDF5
results.h5; the writer shall validate and close a temporary candidate before replacing the final path and shall not leave an incomplete final file after failure. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-040 — Metadata/model output shall include schema and solver versions, source input identity, user-consistent unit label, global/local coordinate conventions, source element type, internal formulation, stable node/element identities, shell section/material identity and initial nodal director.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-041 — Every node shall have global displacement
[U1,U2,U3,UR1,UR2,UR3]and full-residual reaction[RF1,RF2,RF3,RM1,RM2,RM3]rows in stable source identity order. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-042 — Every required shell integration location shall output local generalized strain components
[E11,E22,G12,K11,K22,K12,G13,G23]with membrane/shear strain dimensionless and curvature dimension1/length. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-043 — The same shell locations shall output local section resultant components
[N11,N22,N12,M11,M22,M12,Q13,Q23], whereNandQhave dimensionforce/lengthandMhas dimensionforceas moment resultant per unit edge length. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-044 — Each required shell location shall output local in-plane stress
[S11,S22,S12]at bottom, middle and top section positions with dimensionforce/length^2;S33shall be documented as the plane-stress assumption andS13/S23point stress shall not be emitted. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-045 — Result rows shall identify source element, integration/tying or recovery location, natural coordinates, section position, local frame/director and component order without averaging mismatched locations.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-046 — The output shall include free-DOF residual evidence, total force/moment equilibrium metrics and physical shell strain energy with dimension
force*lengthand deterministic aggregation order; no drilling-specific stiffness, ratio or energy dataset is required. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-047 — Abaqus output requests shall neither suppress nor expand the mandatory HDF5 quantity inventory; any deterministic FESA CSV projection shall remain a debugging/review view rather than official solver output.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-048 — Nonfinite recovery values, inconsistent component/location inventory or failure to finalize required HDF5 rows shall fail the analysis without committing a partial successful state.
Verification Requirements
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-049 — Every production behavior shall follow project TDD
RED -> GREEN -> VERIFY, have a related C++ test, and later pass MSVC x64 Debug CMake/CTest with no new warning; this requirements phase shall not run Harness or implementation validation. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-050 — Element invariant tests shall cover frame orthonormality/handedness, Jacobian sign, stiffness symmetry, coordinate-transformation energy invariance, six physical rigid modes, deformation-mode positivity and deterministic repeatability.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-051 — Normalized algebraic acceptance shall use
1e-12for symmetry, frame orthonormality and transformation-energy invariance and1e-10for rigid-mode action, linear-system residual and global equilibrium unless Numerical Review approves and documents an evidence-backed scale-aware replacement before Implementation Planning. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-052 — Patch verification shall independently cover constant membrane strain/stress, pure bending, transverse shear and twist, including sign and component-order checks for generalized strain, resultant and recovered in-plane stress.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-053 — The implementation shall pass the formulation-defined element invariants and patch/manufactured tests plus the declared S4 displacement reference case; an expanded locking, distortion or curved-shell benchmark portfolio is not an implementation-completion gate for this feature.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-054 — Geometry validation tests shall cover the exact accepted/rejected conditions defined by the formulation and I/O contract;
NR-O03smooth-director calibration andNR-O04distortion/warp threshold sweeps are not required tests. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-055 — Additional pinched-cylinder, hemispherical-shell, Scordelis-Lo or mesh-convergence studies may be added later as nonblocking research or release evidence, but are not required for Implementation Planning or feature completion.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-056 — Drilling verification shall check the fixed formula in Requirement 034, symmetry, positivity, deterministic assembly, removal of the four nonphysical local drilling null modes, and exclusion from physical recovery; coefficient sweeps and drilling-energy checks are not required.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-057 — Physics verification shall check load/reaction balance, global moment balance, displacement direction, symmetry, energy positivity, result sign and consistency between assembled residual and recovered shell resultants.
Verification Quantities
- nodal_displacement: required, global six components;
U1/U2/U3reference pass/fail andUR1/UR2/UR3warning-only - reaction: required, global six components from full residual; internal physics verification
- shell_generalized_strain: required, local eight components at documented locations
- shell_section_resultant: required, local
N/M/Qeight components at documented locations - stress: required, local bottom/middle/top
[S11,S22,S12]; Abaqus equality comparison N/A - residual: required, free-DOF and normalized global equilibrium evidence
- energy: required for the physical shell strain energy; drilling-specific energy output is not required
- modes_and_invariants: required, six physical rigid modes, symmetry, transformation invariance and positive deformation energy
Tolerance Policy
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-058 — Abaqus reference pass/fail shall apply only to matched global
U1/U2/U3rows usingtolerance_c = 1e-9 + 1e-6 * reference_scale_c, exactly reusing the approved B33 displacement rule. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-059 —
reference_scale_cshall be computed only from finite Abaqus values in the same model, step/frame, quantity and component group; reference values shall not be zero-clamped and row-specific relative denominators shall not replace the group scale. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-060 — The
1e-9absolute floor is expressed in the model's user-consistent length unit for U; no additional MITC4 tolerance calibration is required. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-061 — Global
UR1/UR2/UR3rows shall use the same component-scale formula as Requirement 058 and shall be fully reported; an exceedance emits a deterministic nonblocking warning and never changes pass/fail. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-062 — The
1e-9UR floor is dimensionless. No separate UR large-error or drilling-energy threshold is required. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-063 — Missing, extra, duplicate, nonfinite, schema-mismatched or source-identity-mismatched rows shall fail artifact/schema validation before numeric tolerance evaluation for both U and UR inventories.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-064 — The comparison report shall record each U/UR row decision, maximum absolute error, component-scale normalized error, RMS error, vector-norm error and worst source row/component; nonblocking UR warnings shall not be omitted from an otherwise passing report.
Reference Artifact Requirements
The approved lightweight acceptance inventory uses only the existing S4 paths below.
Every file under reference/ remains read-only; its name is an identity, not a
canonical/legacy-policy decision.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-065 — The S4 case shall use
reference/shell/shell.inpandreference/shell/shell displacements.csvwithout creating, renaming, rewriting or repairing either file. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-066 — No S4R Abaqus artifact shall be required or consumed by this feature's reference acceptance comparison. S4R source support shall instead be verified by parser, common-kernel, deterministic assembly and HDF5 source-metadata tests; any existing
reference/shellR/files remain untouched optional evidence. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-067 — Reference readiness requires only the declared input and required displacement CSV, FESA
results.h5, deterministic source-node/component mapping, and Requirements 058-063 tolerance/precheck rules. README,metadata.json, canonical naming, provenance, Abaqus version, duplicated model semantics, and a schema version are not required gates; a presentmetadata.jsonis optional read-only context. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-068 — Artifact validation shall require unique finite displacement rows and deterministic source-node/component identity before comparison; it shall not attempt to establish Abaqus internal formulation equivalence.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-069 — The sole declared Abaqus comparison case is
reference/shell/S4 because FESA-MITC4 uses full2 x 2 x 2integration. S4R source-label coverage is satisfied by the non-reference tests in Requirement 066; no expanded reference portfolio is required for this feature. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-070 — Reference verification shall compare FESA HDF5 global nodal displacement rows directly against Abaqus displacement CSV rows by model, step/frame, source node and component identity; a FESA-generated CSV view shall not become the authoritative comparison source.
- FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-071 — Abaqus reaction, stress, strain and shell force/moment output may be retained as review evidence if present but shall not change the approved
U1/U2/U3pass/fail boundary or become an undeclared equality gate. - FESA-REQ-LSMITC4-072 — FESA agents shall not execute Abaqus or another reference solver and shall not generate, modify, restore or normalize reference artifacts during requirements, research, formulation, implementation or verification unless a later phase explicitly authorizes that operation.

Open Questions and Required Downstream Decisions
No user or numerical calibration decision remains before Implementation Planning. Formulation shall retain exact quadrature, tying interpolation, local-axis, sign and recovery definitions. Future geometric-nonlinear execution remains separately unauthorized even though its residual and tangent derivation may remain in the formulation document.
Downstream Handoff
Research Agent
- Establish source-backed MITC4 linear kinematics, tying, quadrature, shear correction and benchmark applicability.
- Record the thesis drilling rule and the approved dimensional restriction to positive physical rotational diagonals; do not reopen coefficient calibration.
- Preserve nodal-director and geometry evidence as implementation guidance without creating
NR-O03/NR-O04calibration gates.
Formulation Agent
- Revise
docs/formulations/mitc4-shell-formulation.mdto align with global 6-DOF input/output and a physical 5-DOF MITC4 kernel plus numerical drilling embedding. - Keep current-product equations strictly linear static; retain geometric-nonlinear residual/tangent only as clearly separated future formulation.
- Define local frames, transformations, generalized component order, quadrature/tying, stress/resultant recovery and consistent units/signs.
- Do not introduce distributed-load product support or make
S4Rselect reduced integration.
Numerical Review Agent
- Independently review the revised formulation for dimensions, rigid modes, rank, symmetry, invariance, Jacobian/director handling and separation of fixed drilling stabilization from physical recovery.
- Treat drilling calibration/energy-ratio checks and
NR-O03/NR-O04as removed scope, not missing evidence.
I/O Definition Agent
- Define the exact Abaqus keyword/data subset for
S4,S4R, single-layer*SHELL SECTION, material, BC and CLOAD semantics. - Define source identity, auto-director data, unsupported-drilling-load projection, diagnostics and exact HDF5 dataset/row schemas without drilling-specific result datasets.
- Preserve source element type separately from FESA formulation and define bottom/middle/top stress location identity.
Reference Model Agent
- Record only the exact existing S4 input/displacement CSV paths from Requirement 065 as acceptance artifacts and keep every existing reference artifact read-only.
- Do not consume the S4R bundle in reference verification; route S4R source support to parser/common-kernel/HDF5 tests from Requirement 066.
- Define only the HDF5-to-CSV source-node/component projection and the already approved B33 mixed tolerance; do not add bundle administration or portfolio gates.
Implementation Planning Agent
- Do not start until Research, revised Formulation, Numerical Review, I/O and lightweight Reference Model inventory are mutually consistent.
- Trace every
mustrequirement to RED/GREEN/VERIFY tests and preserve current solver ownership, deterministic assembly and failure-atomic HDF5 boundaries. - Use the project Harness skill to propose self-contained implementation Steps for user approval, then write only the approved phase-planning files; do not execute Harness without a separate explicit request.
- Include tests for source-type mapping, auto directors, fixed drilling rank/separation, required recovery quantities, row failures and S4-only U-versus-UR comparison behavior; retain non-reference S4R source mapping coverage and exclude coefficient sweeps, drilling energy and
NR-O03/NR-O04.
