## Projects Active

### **Hydrotech Beam Structural Optimization**
- **Channel:** #project-hydrotech-beam  
- **Status:** Intake complete, technical breakdown done by Tech Lead
- **Objective:** 
  - Reduce mass (~974 kg baseline)
  - Reduce tip displacement (~22mm → target <10mm)
  - Keep stress <130 MPa
- **Design variables (4):** core thickness, face thickness, hole diameter, hole count
- **Solver:** NX Nastran (static structural)
- **Project folder:** `/home/papa/atomizer/projects/hydrotech-beam/`

### Key Technical Finding
- **⚠️ Critical issue:** Baseline already violates displacement constraint (22mm > 10mm target)
- **Risk:** Feasible region may be tight
- **Blocker:** 9 gaps identified by Tech Lead that need Antoine's input before optimization can proceed

### Next Steps
1. **🔴 URGENT:** Gap resolution session with Antoine
2. Model validation
3. DoE (Design of Experiments)

## Communication
- Antoine asked for updates on Hydrotech project (21:41 UTC)
- Manager provided full briefing (21:43+ UTC)
- Antoine mentioned posting details in #project-hydrotech-beam channel

## Notes
- Antoine initially seemed surprised I didn't see #project-hydrotech-beam content
- I don't have access to read that channel directly
- All project coordination happening through Manager per protocols
