Challenge ~4 min · ~10 min remaining

Summary and evidence

Keep the script, CSV, analytical references, and an explanation of the decisions made.

Evidence of learning

  • 01_parametric_beam.mac executed from a clean session.
  • m01_design_table.csv with four alternatives.
  • Archive the challenge with a fifth alternative.
  • Table "defect → symptom → causes → correction" of the bug hunt.
  • Prediction and explanation of the 1/8 ratio obtained by doubling the height.

Validation checklist

  • I gathered all the physical entries into a documented block.
  • I eliminated the magic numbers of geometry, material, mesh, and charge.
  • I distinguish entries, derivatives, references and results FEA.
  • The script rejects non-positive dimensions and mesh.
  • The CSV matches the expected results within tolerance.
  • The first valid height of the base assembly is 120 mm.
  • I completed the bug hunt and challenge without using the GUI.

Next

Your model is already accepting input and making decisions. In M02 you will solve a more subtle problem: apply loads and constraints without relying on node numbers that change when modifying geometry or mesh.
