During March 2025, Richard Faasse enhanced the KratosMultiphysics/Kratos repository by generalizing midside node extrapolation across multiple geometry types. He refactored the AddRowsForMidsideNodes function and introduced a global-to-local node index mapping, enabling robust handling of midside nodes in extrapolation matrices. Using C++ and applying principles of geometry processing and software design, Richard’s work improved code maintainability and extensibility, reducing future maintenance effort. The changes streamlined support for additional element geometries and increased the accuracy and consistency of extrapolation routines. This focused, in-depth contribution laid a solid foundation for future geometry support within the codebase.
