Solid mechanics

Verification of Coreform IGA solid-mechanics capabilities against analytic solutions, textbook references (e.g. Roark), and body-fitted Abaqus reference simulations.

Problems are grouped by capability rather than by Abaqus keyword. Each problem page lists the specific keywords it exercises (extracted from its analysis deck) in a Supported Abaqus keywords section.
