Free Body Diagram / Reaction Solver (2D Rigid Body) implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The solver must reject coincident supports when the reaction calculation divides by the zero support spacing; otherwise it can produce an undefined or nonphysical reaction. Angle-sign ambiguity can also reverse the vertical reactions if the convention is not explicit.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
