Mental model ~5 min · ~60 min remaining

Decision, not just calculation

validation_pass (M07–M08) and feasible (design limits) answer different questions.

Operational mental map

Automate a decision, not only calculations

A sweep creates value when it turns inputs and results into an explainable, repeatable decision.

Write the idea, not the exact wording. The comparison is feedback, not a grade.

Mental model — Automate the decision, not just the calculation

Parametric sweep, validation, feasibility filter, and selection of the smallest suitable design
Figure 1. validation_pass and feasible answer different questions.

A sweep that only prints contours does not automate decisions. You need a table with explicit verdicts and a selection rule that is readable in the script: the smallest acceptable beam_h.

Quick check

A case has validation_pass=1 but feasible=0. What does this mean?
