The skill is now self-contained: the reusable `.dat`, `.p2fis`, `.p3fis`, and supporting geometry assets are stored under `scripts/canonical/` instead of relying on machine-local paths. ## Parent Skill Relationship `pfc-standard-tests` is a child skill of `pfc-workflow`. It does not own the full PFC lifecycle. Use it only for standard laboratory-test template selection, stage normalization, and bundled command-flow handoff. Return to `pfc-workflow` for calibration, solve orchestration, post-processing routing, verification, and delivery. Parent/child split: - Parent `pfc-workflow`: owns planning, parameterization, calibration, solve management, post-processing routing, V&V, and final delivery. - Child `pfc-standard-tests`: owns canonical UCS, biaxial, triaxial, direct shear, Brazilian, and three-point bending templates plus their standard stage vocabulary. - Sibling child `pfc-postprocessing`: owns standard figures and field exports after solve. - Sibling child `pfc-ae-energy`: owns AE, energy, and source-mechanism outputs after solve. ## When To Use Use through `pfc-workflow` when the workflow reaches standard-test selection or template materialization: - Set up or explain UCS, biaxial, triaxial, direct shear, Brazilian splitting, or three-point bending models. - Extract a reproducible PFC 6.0 command-flow template for a standard laboratory test. - Normalize stage names, saved-state names, and expected output curves across teaching examples. - Compare rigid-wall and flexible-membrane triaxial workflows. - Prepare a GitHub-ready, reproducible standard-test template package. ## Required Inputs Ask for these if they are missing: - Test type: `ucs`, `biaxial`, `brazilian`, `direct-shear`, `three-point-bending`, `triaxial-rigid`, or `triaxial-flexible-membrane`. - Target dimension and model type: 2D or 3D, specimen width/height/radius, target porosity, particle radius range. - Boundary style: rigid walls, platens, shear box, cylinders, or membrane/shell boundary. - Material model: usually linear before bonding, then linearpbond for bonded specimen tests. - Required saved states: sample generation, isotropic/preload, bonding, confinement, load-ready, peak/final. - Required outputs: stress-strain, force-displacement, crack count, fracture DFNs, fragment IDs, or energy/AE add-ons. ## Canonical Template Map | Test | Folder | Main stages | Crack tracker | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Biaxial compression | `scripts/canonical/biaxial/` | `1chengyang` -> `2yuya` -> `3jiaojiaojie` -> `4weiya` -> `5jiazai` | none by default | | UCS / uniaxial compression | `scripts/canonical/ucs/` | `1chengyang` -> `2yuya` -> `3jiaojiaojie` -> optional crack preload/unload -> `5jiazai` | `fracture.p2fis` | | Brazilian splitting | `scripts/canonical/brazilian/` | `1chengyang` -> `2yuya` -> `3jiajiaojie` -> `4xiezai` -> `5jiazai` | `fracture.p2fis` | | Direct shear | `scripts/canonical/direct-shear/` | `1chengyang` -> `2yuya` -> `3jiajiaojie` -> `4jiazhouya` -> `5jiazai` | `fracture.p2fis` | | Three-point bending | `scripts/canonical/three-point-bending/` | `1chengyang` -> `2tihuan` -> `3jiajiaojie` -> `4addjiazai` -> `5jiazai` | `fracture.p2fis` plus `11.dxf` | | Conventional triaxial, rigid wall | `scripts/canonical/triaxial-rigid/` | `1chengyang` -> `2yuya` -> `3jiajiaojie` -> `4weiya` -> `5jiazai` | `fracture.p3fis` | | Conventional triaxial, flexible membrane | `scripts/canonical/triaxial-flexible-membrane/` | `1chengyang` -> `2yuya` -> `3jiajiaojie` -> `4jiarouxing` -> `5jiazai` | `fracture.p3fis` | ## Stage Vocabulary Normalize user-facing stages to these labels even when source filenames differ: 1. `sample`: create domain, walls/geometry, particle assembly, density/damping, initial calm/solve, save `sample`. 2. `preload` or `isotropic`: apply initial stress or compact specimen, save `yuya`/preload state. 3. `bond`: install parallel bonds or bonded contact model, save `jiaojie`. 4. `boundary`: add/load confinement, platens, shear box, Brazilian loading walls, or membrane shell. 5. `load`: apply monotonic or cyclic displacement/strain loading, histories, solve criteria, final save. 6. `postprocess`: export stress-strain/force-displacement, crack/fragment data, and saved-state snapshots. ## Working Rules - Prefer PFC 6.0-compatible command flow and FISH syntax unless the user explicitly asks for a newer PFC version. - Treat files in `scripts/canonical/` as reference templates, not black-box final models. Adapt dimensions, parameters, histories, and output filenames to the user's project. - Keep stage names explicit when creating new cases. Do not hide important setup inside GUI-only project metadata. - Preserve milestone saves (`sample`, `yuya`/preload, `jiaojie`/bonded, boundary-loaded, `result`) so failures can be debugged stage by stage. - For fracture-aware tests, include the correct `fracture.p2fis` or `fracture.p3fis`, register the bond-break callback, and export DFN/fragment outputs if requested. - When publishing to GitHub, avoid absolute local paths. Reference bundled files with relative paths only. ## Output Contract A complete child-skill handoff back to `pfc-workflow` should include: - The selected canonical template folder and why it fits. - A stage-by-stage execution list with input and output state names. - Required files to copy from `scripts/canonical//`. - Any template parameters that `pfc-workflow` must adapt for specimen size, porosity, stiffness, bond strength, loading rate, or confinement. - Expected curves: UCS/biaxial/triaxial stress-strain, Brazilian force-displacement or tensile stress proxy, direct shear shear stress-displacement, bending load-CMOD/deflection if available. - Expected fracture outputs when fracture tracking is enabled. - A clear note that calibration, solve execution, post-processing routing, and final delivery continue in `pfc-workflow`. ## Local Contents - `references/overview.md`: detailed self-contained source map and stage descriptions. - `examples/README.md`: how to use and validate each bundled canonical case. - `scripts/canonical/`: copied source code and assets for all supported test families. - `scripts/canonical/manifest.json`: file inventory with sizes and SHA-256 hashes. - `scripts/README.md`: helper-script policy and suggested materialization workflow.
