Problem statement

Geometry
Thin circular plate of radius a and thickness h (thin-plate regime, a/h ≳ 20).
Material
Linear-elastic isotropic material, E and ν; flexural rigidity D = Eh³/[12(1−ν²)].
Boundary conditions
Clamped around the whole edge; uniform pressure q on the face.
Measured quantity
Central deflection against w = qa⁴/(64D); edge radial moment −qa²/8.

Script

Lands with the scripting engine (see Documentation) — this setup will be runnable from commands, no manual rebuild needed.

Results comparison

The solver core is still in development — there's no result yet. It'll appear here right after the first run, no retouching.
