Use this when you need to know whether a part will hold a load. Runs the linear-static structural study a script declares with `shape.feaStudy({ material, fixed, loads, meshSize?, minSafetyFactor? })`: meshes the solid with quadratic tetrahedra, solves it with CalculiX, and returns evidence — peak von Mises stress (MPa), peak displacement (mm), the minimum safety factor against the material yield, per-region hot spots named by @kc[...] face ref, mesh-quality trust flags, an equilibrium residual, and stress-heatmap PNG paths. Requires the external solver toolchain (CalculiX `ccx` plus the gmsh Python module). When it is absent the call fails with `fea.solver.unavailable` and the exact install command — never a silent pass. Pass { file | code }, optional `study` (defaults to the last declared study), `output_dir` (keeps the .inp/.frd deck for reproduction), `mesh_size` (mm, overrides the study for this run), and `heatmaps: false` for a fast numbers-only run.
