# Finite Element Plasticity Program Architecture
## Definition
Finite element plasticity program architecture is the software organization needed to run plasticity analyses: input parsing, element loops, material-state storage, nonlinear solution control, stress recovery, and verification output.
## Source Pattern
[[Finite-Elements-in-Plasticity-Theory-and-Practice|Finite Elements in Plasticity: Theory and Practice]] describes modular FORTRAN routines linked into multiple plasticity programs. The important architecture lesson is not the language; it is the separation of responsibilities:
- model and material input;
- element stiffness, mass, and internal force routines;
- integration-point stress update and state-variable storage;
- global nonlinear or transient solution control;
- postprocessing for displacements, reactions, stresses, and internal forces;
- benchmark input cases for regression testing.
## Why It Matters
Plasticity code fails when state ownership is unclear. Element routines need access to previous and trial state, material routines need a stable state-variable contract, and the global solver needs residuals and tangents that match the accepted material update.
## Solver Development Checklist
- Define state variables per integration point and section point.
- Separate trial, iterative, and committed material states.
- Make element routines independent of specific global solver choices where possible.
- Emit enough output to compare displacements, reactions, element internal forces, stresses, and plastic variables.
- Keep reference input cases small enough for TDD and regression runs.
