Anto01 40213578ad merge: recover Gitea state - HQ docs, cluster setup, isogrid work
Merge recovery/gitea-before-force-push to restore:
- hq/ directory (cluster setup, docker-compose, configs)
- docs/hq/ (12+ HQ planning docs)
- docs/guides/ (documentation boundaries, PKM standard)
- docs/plans/ (model introspection master plan)
- Isogrid extraction work
- Hydrotech-beam: keep local DOE results, remove Syncthing conflicts

Hydrotech Beam — Structural Optimization

Client: Hydrotech (internal test fixture) Channel: #project-hydrotech-beam Created: 2026-02-08 Status: Technical Breakdown Complete — Awaiting Gap Resolution


Objective

Optimize a sandwich I-beam with lightening holes: minimize mass while meeting stiffness and strength constraints.

Key Numbers

Metric Baseline Target
Mass ~974 kg Minimize
Tip displacement ~22 mm ≤ 10 mm
Von Mises stress TBD ≤ 130 MPa

Design Variables

Variable Range Type
Half-core thickness 1040 mm Continuous
Face thickness 1040 mm Continuous
Hole diameter 150450 mm Continuous
Hole count 515 Integer

Approach

Two-phase optimization:

  1. DoE (LHS, 4050 trials) — map the landscape
  2. TPE (Bayesian, 60100 trials) — converge to optimum

Total budget: ~100150 NX evaluations, est. 25 hours compute.
