QF Solver 0.2.8
This release consolidates the bounded, evidence-led public surface for structural FEM and dynamics.
Highlights
- Qualified bounded mixed serial TET4/WEDGE6/HEX8 static, modal, translational-MPC and multi-material workflows.
- Experimental bounded mixed Newmark and harmonic linear workflows within their documented serial damping, loading, timestep and frequency scopes.
- Experimental bounded .inp subset, family-aware mixed-HDF5 storage, frictionless penalty contact and HEX8-SRI capability records.
- Public capability, V&V/maturity, installation and limitations documentation.
Verification
- Element-analysis registry: 32 QUALIFIED_BOUNDED, 14 EXPERIMENTAL, 0 NOT_QUALIFIED, 46 records.
- The release candidate passed the documented full-suite, packaging, clean-install, documentation and CI gates.
Limitations
- Mixed distributed PETSc/MPI runtime remains NOT_VALIDATED; the latest campaign failed force-balance and three-rank/partition-consistency gates.
- No general distributed mixed, production-HPC, universal scalability or general nonlinear-production claim.
- Geometric nonlinear work remains RESEARCH_ONLY; PYRAMID5 remains INTERNAL/RESEARCH_ONLY; MITC4 modal remains EXPERIMENTAL.
- .inp, mixed-HDF5, frictionless-contact and HEX8-SRI capabilities remain bounded to their documented scopes.
