Challenge: four designs, two runs

Run the baseline sweep twice and add a fourth design with n_cases=4.

Verifiable challenge — Four designs, two runs

Run the base sweep twice from clean sessions and compare m09_results.csv. Then add a fourth design without duplicating construction or solution blocks:

/CLEAR,START
/FILNAME,m09_challenge,1
/UNITS,SI
n_cases=4
/INPUT,09_parametric_core,mac

The fourth case (h = 0.14 m) is also analytically acceptable, but the selection must remain h = 0.12 m because it is the smallest suitable section.

Conceptual explorer · not a solver

Explore the design decision

Use this to make a prediction. Your MAPDL run and exported evidence remain the source of truth.

Transfer case

Final brief: decide with incomplete requirements

Adapt the workflow to a bracket or beam with at least one decision not fixed by the template.

Execution cycle

1 Declare scope, units, and assumptions.
2 Choose at least three alternatives and criteria.
3 Validate before checking feasibility.
4 Recommend one option and state a limitation.

Which assumption could change your recommendation, and how would you test it?

Graduated hints

1 · Concept hint

Separate model validity, design feasibility, and preference.

2 · Command hint

Keep build, solve, and extract independent.

3 · Explained solution

Defend the recommendation with validated cases, traceable criteria, sensitivity, and a limitation.
