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

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)

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)
