Mastery test

Demonstrate mastery of parameters, units, and reproducible evidence.

Approximate result with tolerance

Expected topology may be exact; FE quantities are accepted only within the declared tolerance.

Module check

Show that you can do it without hints

You need at least 80% and every critical check correct. Each new attempt uses a different six-question variant. Retained mastery is checked later.

6 checks

Competency

Govern the model through parameters and reproducible decisions.

Pass criterion

uy_ref and sigma_ref with rounding error below 0.1%.

1.What does *SET contribute compared to repeating literal numbers?

It centralizes the intention and makes it easier to vary the model. Automatically converts units. Mesh the geometry.

2.What does /UNITS do with the values already written? Critical

It converts them to SI. It documents the convention, but it does not convert numbers. It only converts forces.

3.Enter the value of sigma_ref of the base case in MPa. Critical

Numeric answer MPa

4.Enter |uy_ref| of the base case in meters.

Numeric answer m

5.What structure would you use to repeat the calculation over several heights?

*DO PLNSOL VMESH

6.A CSV table changes between identical runs. Which property has been lost? Critical

Reproducibility. Elasticity. Free meshing.

7.M00 retrieval: you change beam_h from 0.10 to 100 thinking in millimetres. What must be checked before running? Retrieval M00

That the whole model uses one coherent unit system; /UNITS does not convert the value. Nothing: /UNITS converts 100 mm to 0.10 m.

8.A parametric case finishes with SOLVE. Which conclusion can you defend? Retrieval M00

Only that the solver finished; physical checks are still required. That every parameter represents a valid design.

Confidence prediction Before scoring, what percentage of this module check do you expect to have correct? This prediction does not affect your score. It is used to compare confidence with actual performance.

Retained mastery

Retrieve it after time has passed

Three short reviews are scheduled around days 1, 7, and 21. If you return late, the next gap starts from the review you actually completed.

A CSV table changes between identical runs. Which property has been lost?

Reproducibility.Elasticity.Free meshing.

M00 retrieval: you change beam_h from 0.10 to 100 thinking in millimetres. What must be checked before running? Retrieval M00

That the whole model uses one coherent unit system; /UNITS does not convert the value.Nothing: /UNITS converts 100 mm to 0.10 m.

A parametric case finishes with SOLVE. Which conclusion can you defend? Retrieval M00

Only that the solver finished; physical checks are still required.That every parameter represents a valid design.

You change beam_l, but a selection coordinate remains a literal number. Which change preserves traceability? New scenario

Derive that coordinate from the same geometry parameter.Edit the number manually after every run.

The script declares /UNITS,SI and receives beam_h=100 as millimetres. What happens? New scenario

MAPDL automatically converts 100 mm to 0.1 m.MAPDL uses 100 in the coherent system; it does not convert it.

A sweep repeats the final row throughout the CSV. Where should you look first? New scenario

Array indices, assignments, and the location of *VWRITE in the loop.The displacement contour colour.

Confidence prediction Before scoring, what percentage do you expect to have retained correctly? This prediction does not affect your score. It is used to compare confidence with actual performance.

Pass with 75% and every selected critical check correct.

What you just achieved

When you pass, M01 will be complete and M02 will become the next recommended module.
