Write a representative summary of your work. This should include short statement about:
• Brief problem definition including background
• Method
• Results summary
• Conclusion statement
Highlight anything extra-ordinary (above the basic requirements) that you may have included in the report.
MODEL DEVELOPMENT:
• The geometry of the models being produced should be presented in the report (including neat hand sketches)
• Discuss and explain reasons for the selection of:
• The type of geometry used - i.e. 2D, 3D .etc
• Type of assigned section,
• Specific material properties
• Type of constraints (boundary conditions) used in terms of degrees of freedom, symmetry, etc. and where these should be applied,
• Types of selected loads & boundary conditions, where they should be applied & why,
• Element type selected, also discuss other viable possibilities, advantages & disadvantages of each, also explain the formulation and the cost of using the selected elements.
• The type of seeding used (CAE) and why you selected to have a mesh of that density.
• Techniques used to minimize use of computational resources, e.g. applying symmetry conditions, etc.
