SCOPE & LIMITATIONS
HOW THIS VERIFICATION WORKS
- Step 1: Compute effective radial thermal time constant for coiled strip stack — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
- Step 2: Predict maximum radial temperature difference using corrected lumped capacitance with interfacial resistance — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
- Step 3: Verify predicted ΔT_radial_max satisfies metallurgical constraint for ferrite grain stability — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
- Step 4: Calculate circumferential tensile stress due to mandrel expansion-induced radial compression — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
- Step 5: Solve for v_max enforcing σ_θ ≤ 0.75·σ_y — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
- Step 6: Verify v_max satisfies plant-level PLC cycle time constraint — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
- Step 7: Compute single-layer step-response temperature decay for unit step heat flux — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
- Step 8: Synthesize piecewise-constant heat flux profile minimizing inter-layer ΔT spread — engineering workflow step. Follow the documented method for manual execution.
- Step 9: Validate inter-layer temperature spread ≤ ±3°C post-cooling simulation — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
- Step 10: Allocate remaining latency to thermal-mechanical solver — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
- Step 11: Verify t_layer_max supports solver convergence under worst-case mesh resolution — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
This tool coordinates 4 validation steps and 7 calculation steps. The overall engineering decision uses ALL_REQUIRED_VALIDATION_PASS aggregation: only validation steps contribute to the pass/fail outcome; calculation steps produce data only.

Validation RuleUNDERSTANDING THE RESULTS
- PASS
- A proven validation criterion passed. The engineering input satisfies the deterministic threshold.
- FAIL
- A proven validation criterion failed. The engineering input does not satisfy the deterministic threshold.
- CALCULATED
- A deterministic calculation completed, but no acceptance criterion exists for this step. CALCULATED does NOT mean PASS.
- RESULT NOT VALID
- Runtime executed but engineering validity requirements were not met.
- INCOMPLETE
- Required inputs or workflow steps are incomplete.
The overall decision reflects only validation steps. Calculation steps produce numerical results without pass/fail claims.
