Description

To the extent I understand:

  • CalculiX requires node groups to be named starting with N: NwetSurface
  • The adapter takes the names without the N (wetSurface) and automatically "converts it to CalculiX format" (i.e., prepends the N).

We should:

  1. Check if the first assumption really still holds
  2. Not ask the user to remove the N, if that is part of the name

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the CalculiX documentation and source code to verify the requirement that node group names must start with 'N'. Then examine the adapter's logic that prepends 'N' to interface names, and consider how to handle cases where the user already provides the 'N' prefix, possibly by adjusting the name handling to avoid duplication.
