Cross-solver comparisons
========================

Side-by-side comparisons against other FEM solvers on the same
cantilever plate problem. Each example solves the shared problem in
:mod:`perf.compare._problem` and reports numbers + wall-time.

Open-source backends (pip-installable) run live during ``sphinx-build``;
external / closed-source backends (CalculiX, FEniCSx, OpenSeesPy,
SimScale, …) will land as static result snapshots in future PRs.
