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 more robust and maintainable handling of midside nodes. Working primarily in C++ and applying geometry processing and software design skills, Richard’s approach reduced code duplication and improved the extensibility of extrapolation functionality for future element types. This work addressed the challenge of supporting diverse geometries, resulting in more consistent and accurate extrapolation while laying a solid foundation for ongoing development and easier future maintenance.
