Reorganized simple_beam_optimization study and created templates for future
studies following best practices for clarity, chronology, and self-documentation.
## Study Reorganization (simple_beam_optimization)
**New Directory Structure**:
```
studies/simple_beam_optimization/
├── 1_setup/ # Pre-optimization setup
│ ├── model/ # Reference CAD/FEM model
│ └── benchmarking/ # Baseline validation results
├── 2_substudies/ # Optimization runs (numbered chronologically)
│ ├── 01_initial_exploration/
│ ├── 02_validation_3d_3trials/
│ ├── 03_validation_4d_3trials/
│ └── 04_full_optimization_50trials/
└── 3_reports/ # Study-level analysis
└── COMPREHENSIVE_BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md
```
**Key Changes**:
1. **Numbered Substudies**: 01_, 02_, 03_, 04_ indicate chronological order
2. **Reorganized Setup**: model/ and benchmarking/ moved to 1_setup/
3. **Centralized Reports**: Study-level docs moved to 3_reports/
4. **Substudy Documentation**: Each substudy has README.md explaining purpose/results
## Updated Metadata
**study_metadata.json** (v2.0):
- Tracks all 4 substudies with creation date, status, purpose
- Includes result summaries (best objective, feasible count)
- Documents new organization version
**Substudies Documented**:
- 01_initial_exploration - Initial design space exploration
- 02_validation_3d_3trials - Validate 3D parameter updates
- 03_validation_4d_3trials - Validate 4D updates including hole_count
- 04_full_optimization_50trials - Full 50-trial optimization
## Templates for Future Studies
**templates/study_template/** - Complete study structure:
- README.md template with study overview format
- study_metadata.json template with v2.0 schema
- Pre-created 1_setup/, 2_substudies/, 3_reports/ directories
**templates/substudy_README_template.md** - Standardized substudy documentation:
- Purpose and hypothesis
- Configuration changes from previous run
- Expected vs actual results
- Validation checklist
- Lessons learned
- Next steps
**templates/HOW_TO_CREATE_A_STUDY.md** - Complete guide:
- Quick start (9 steps from template to first run)
- Substudy workflow
- Directory structure reference
- Naming conventions
- Best practices
- Troubleshooting guide
- Examples
## Benefits
**Clarity**:
- Numbered substudies show chronological progression (01 → 02 → 03 → 04)
- Clear separation: setup vs. optimization runs vs. analysis
- Self-documenting via substudy READMEs
**Discoverability**:
- study_metadata.json provides complete substudy registry
- Each substudy README explains what was tested and why
- Easy to find results for specific runs
**Scalability**:
- Works for small studies (3 substudies) or large studies (50+)
- Chronological numbering scales to 99 substudies
- Template system makes new studies quick to set up
**Reproducibility**:
- Each substudy documents configuration changes
- Purpose and results clearly stated
- Lessons learned captured for future reference
## Implementation Details
**reorganize_study.py** - Migration script:
- Handles locked files gracefully
- Moves files to new structure
- Provides clear progress reporting
- Safe to run multiple times
**Organization Version**: 2.0
- Tracked in study_metadata.json
- Future studies will use this structure by default
- Existing studies can migrate or keep current structure
## Files Added
- templates/study_template/ - Complete study template
- templates/substudy_README_template.md - Substudy documentation template
- templates/HOW_TO_CREATE_A_STUDY.md - Comprehensive creation guide
- reorganize_study.py - Migration script for existing studies
## Files Reorganized (simple_beam_optimization)
**Moved to 1_setup/**:
- model/ → 1_setup/model/ (CAD/FEM reference files)
- substudies/benchmarking/ → 1_setup/benchmarking/
- baseline_validation.json → 1_setup/
**Renamed and Moved to 2_substudies/**:
- substudies/initial_exploration/ → 2_substudies/01_initial_exploration/
- substudies/validation_3trials/ → 2_substudies/02_validation_3d_3trials/
- substudies/validation_4d_3trials/ → 2_substudies/03_validation_4d_3trials/
- substudies/full_optimization_50trials/ → 2_substudies/04_full_optimization_50trials/
**Moved to 3_reports/**:
- COMPREHENSIVE_BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md → 3_reports/
**Substudy-Specific Docs** (moved to substudy directories):
- OPTIMIZATION_RESULTS_50TRIALS.md → 2_substudies/04_full_optimization_50trials/OPTIMIZATION_RESULTS.md
## Documentation Created
Each substudy now has README.md documenting:
- **01_initial_exploration**: Initial exploration purpose
- **02_validation_3d_3trials**: 3D parameter update validation
- **03_validation_4d_3trials**: hole_count validation success
- **04_full_optimization_50trials**: Full results, no feasible designs found
## Next Steps
**For Future Studies**:
1. Copy templates/study_template/
2. Follow templates/HOW_TO_CREATE_A_STUDY.md
3. Use numbered substudies (01_, 02_, ...)
4. Document each substudy with README.md
**For Existing Studies**:
- Can migrate using reorganize_study.py
- Or apply organization v2.0 to new substudies only
- See docs/STUDY_ORGANIZATION.md for migration guide
