Mdsolids — Mac

All three environments produced identical numerical outputs (error = 0.00% relative to analytical solutions). This confirms that emulation does not alter the underlying finite difference algorithms of MD Solids. However, the CrossOver environment failed to render the "Stress Cube" 3D visualization on three test iterations, requiring a restart. 5. Discussion
