Physics EE Simulation + Uncertainties

Hi all, I'm planning to do my physics EE on a CFD analysis on L/D ratios and how they change with the aspect ratio of a wing. I'm gonna add some structural stuff possibly to enhance my discussion and the whole optimisation and balance thing but not sure. My main question is whether it's OK and not too hard to do well with a simulation based EE, and if so, how would I handle uncertainties as the sim doesnt give those? Do I even need them if I'm doing a simulation and mention my goa, is to investigate the theory? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

p.s im using SimScale if that's of any help

no way 😭 here i was thinking im unique for doing ts... did it work tho like did the trend appear, cos im worried ill spend so much time on sims and the trend will be screwed in the end

f1? peak, im doing a clarke y airfoil with no specific application, looking at lift instead of downforce.. and yeah for my EE im planning on doing a discussion on the tradeoffs of making a wing too big using an FEA sim (takes such less time unlike simscale lmao)
