Norton *CREEP in a linear *VISCO step: a large increment stops ccx with "matrix found to be singular" (exit 255) instead of a cutback

*ORIENTATION: a *DISTRIBUTION name that reads as a number (D1, E1, E5, 12, ...) is taken as zero coordinates, and the run stops with only "matrix found to be singular"

Extrapolated nodal values (S, E, ENER, *SECTION PRINT) of C3D8, C3D8I, C3D20R and expanded 2-D/shell elements are 4e-5 low: the 2x2x2 table in extrapolate.f has 4-digit constants

*MODEL CHANGE toggles elements: ADD switches an active element off, a second REMOVE switches it back on; GENERATE element sets are misread (random segfault)

Node-to-surface contact: a slave surface with many faces (e.g. a whole body) overflows the slave-face arrays in inicont.c: wrong forces, hangs or crashes

*PLASTIC, HARDENING=KINEMATIC / COMBINED without NLGEOM: the back stress is updated with the wrong sign, so a tension test softens

Norton *CREEP with isotropic *ELASTIC: A·t^m is floored at 1e-20, so laws in Pa and s creep too fast and the result depends on the unit system

Linear *STATIC: SPRING1 / SPRING2 forces caused by a nonzero *BOUNDARY are left out of the load vector, so a SPRING2 from a moved node transmits nothing (exit 0)

*TRANSFORM is ignored for rotations at shell knots and *KINEMATIC reference nodes; *EQUATION terms on DOF 5/6 of a transformed node are misread

NLGEOM: an *EQUATION tied to a *RIGID BODY member is not satisfied after a large rotation (also why an identity ORIENTATION changes a *KINEMATIC coupling)

Steps without NLGEOM that ccx iterates (e.g. an unreached *PLASTIC): *RIGID BODY, *KINEMATIC and mean-rotation MPCs use finite rotations

NLGEOM is lost after a *FREQUENCY or *BUCKLE step: the next *STATIC step runs geometrically linear unless its *STEP card repeats NLGEOM (exit 0)

*MODAL DAMPING: the ratio table is sized by the deck's last card (out-of-bounds write, SIGABRT), and RAYLEIGH discards later ratio cards and the *DAMPING values
