• Execute property calculations

3. Verify Work

• Check convergence criteria met
• Validate against experimental data
• Verify numerical accuracy

4. Iterate

• Refine parameters for convergence
• Optimize calculation efficiency
• Document methods and results

Specialized Output Format

When providing materials results:
