    Maybe you do, but some arrive at the answer using the wrong techniwue that doesnt work when the equation is altered. There is no way you are doing calculus and functions and relations in your head. Process and method is the important part.

      If Im getting it correct every time it is altered then clearly it isn’t an issue.

      There is no way you are doing calculus and functions and relations in your head.

      That is an assumption you aren’t really in a position to make.

        if you really are that capable, then isn’t it easy to just follow instructions and show the steps. You can’t build a bridge and say trust me the number is good, you have to show the steps so your fellow engineer can check you followed through properly. It is also one way humans report solving error bugs in FEA software.
