New Tools (tools/):
- analyze_study.py: Generate comprehensive optimization reports
- find_best_iteration.py: Find best iteration folder, optionally copy it
- archive_best_design.py: Archive best design to 3_results/best_design_archive/<timestamp>/
Protocol Updates:
- OP_02_RUN_OPTIMIZATION.md v1.1: Add mandatory archive_best_design step
in Post-Run Actions. This MUST be done after every optimization run.
V14 Updates:
- run_optimization.py: Auto-archive best design at end of optimization
- optimization_config.json: Expand bounds for V14 continuation
- lateral_outer_angle: min 13->11 deg (was at 4.7%)
- lateral_inner_pivot: min 7->5 mm (was at 8.1%)
- lateral_middle_pivot: max 23->27 mm (was at 99.4%)
- whiffle_min: max 60->72 mm (was at 96.3%)
Usage:
python tools/analyze_study.py m1_mirror_adaptive_V14
python tools/find_best_iteration.py m1_mirror_adaptive_V14
python tools/archive_best_design.py m1_mirror_adaptive_V14

New E11 Part Mass Extractor:
- Add nx_journals/extract_part_mass_material.py - NX journal using
NXOpen.MeasureManager.NewMassProperties() for accurate geometry-based mass
- Add optimization_engine/extractors/extract_part_mass_material.py - Python
wrapper that reads JSON output from journal
- Add E11 entry to extractors/catalog.json
Documentation Updates:
- SYS_12_EXTRACTOR_LIBRARY.md: Add mass accuracy warning noting pyNastran
get_mass_breakdown() under-reports ~7% on hex-dominant meshes with
tet/pyramid fill elements. E11 (geometry .prt) should be preferred over
E4 (BDF) unless material is overridden at FEM level.
- 01_CHEATSHEET.md: Add mass extraction tip
V14 Config:
- Expand design variable bounds (blank_backface_angle max 4.5°,
whiffle_triangle_closeness max 80mm, whiffle_min max 60mm)
Testing showed:
- E11 from .prt: 97.66 kg (accurate - matches NX GUI)
- E4 pyNastran get_mass_breakdown(): 90.73 kg (~7% under-reported)

Analysis of 258 FEA trials showed best trial (#45) hitting bounds on
5 parameters. Expanded bounds to allow exploration of promising regions:
- lateral_inner_angle: max 28.5 → 30.0° (was at 99.2% of range)
- lateral_inner_pivot: min 9.0 → 7.0 mm (was at 4.6% of range)
- lateral_middle_pivot: min 18.0 → 15.0 mm (was at 7.7% of range)
- whiffle_min: min 35.0 → 30.0 mm (was at 4.0% of range)
- whiffle_outer_to_vertical: min 68.0 → 60.0° (was at 5.3% of range)
- blank_backface_angle: narrowed to 4.1-4.2° (focus on optimal region)
V14 seeds from 496 prior FEA trials (V11+V12+V13) using TPE sampler.
