Refactor: nx_interface uses optimization_engine (NXSolver + pyNastran extractors)

- AtomizerNXSolver wraps existing NXSolver + extractors from SAT3 pipeline
- HEEDS-style iteration folders with fresh model copies per trial
- Expression .exp file generation with correct unit mapping
- pyNastran OP2 extraction: displacement, von Mises (kPa→MPa), mass
- StubSolver improved with beam-theory approximations
- Reuses proven journal pipeline (solve_simulation.py)

-- optimization_engine.nx.updater.NXParameterUpdater (expression updates via .exp import)
+- NXSolver for journal-based solve (run_journal.exe → solve_simulation.py)
-- optimization_engine.nx.solver.NXSolver (journal-based solving with run_journal.exe)

-- optimization_engine.extractors.* (pyNastran OP2-based result extraction)
+- Expression-based mass extraction via journal temp file
+
+The proven SAT3 pipeline: write .exp → NX journal updates + solves → pyNastran reads OP2.
