Two opt-in capabilities with bounded experimental evidence and separate records.

docs/etat/limites.md ↗Frictionless contact
The supported experimental boundary is penalty node-to-triangle contact in documented small-sliding cases. It does not cover friction, general finite sliding, impact or self-contact. A contact implementation does not establish general nonlinear dynamics qualification.
Selective reduced integration
HEX8-SRI is an EXPERIMENTAL_BOUNDED linear-elastic capability for locking-sensitive cases. It is not described as locking-free or universally robust. Its evidence must be read separately from ordinary HEX8.
Deferred formulations
HEX8R, B-bar and general hourglass-control production paths remain deferred or research-only. Do not transfer qualification between formulations based on their element family name.
