PyBaMM aging sweep, thick graphite electrode tortuosity vs cycle life with O'Kane 2022 SEI and lithium plating (45 runs, needs cores)

Stuck on

CM-BAT-R05 (300 cycles, 2× thickness, C/2): tau 1.2 keeps 98.1 % vs 97.5 % at tau 1.8, plating LLI 0.053 vs 0.067 Ah, SEI equal. That is one point on a surface. The design question, CM-BAT-103c, is the trade-off curve: at a fixed lifetime target, how much extra thickness (Wh/kg) does each unit of tortuosity reduction buy? It needs the full grid and one machine cannot run it in reasonable time.

Need

Any subset of the 3 × 3 × 3 grid (k ∈ {1, 2, 3}, tau ∈ {1.2, 1.8, 3.0}, C ∈ {0.33, 0.5, 1.0}), 300 cycles, DFN, O'Kane 2022 SEI + plating, reported as capacity retention, plating LLI and SEI LLI at end of life. One run is a contribution.

How

./run_sim.sh results/cm_bat_sweep.py --ks 2 --taus 1.2 1.8 --crates 0.5 --n 300

Flags: --ks, --taus, --crates take lists; --n cycles; --model dfn|spme (spme is ~5× faster, label it). Output JSON lands in results/. Read end-of-life numbers from sol.summary_variables; do not keep full cycle solutions in memory.
