How a simulation becomes a question
One line is a guess.
Every plan starts as a single line: one material, one temperature, one answer. It feels certain. It is not.
Shake what you don’t know.
Thickness holds still. Conductivity does not. Neither does the heat reaching the surface. Let the unknowns move and one line becomes a fan.
Read the spread, not the number.
Two hundred runs say more than one. The width of the fan is how unsure the question still is.
Mark the few worth a lab.
Real lab time is slow and expensive. Keep it for the pink lines: the runs that bracket the answer.
