Turning off the BP drastically increased stresses in previous simulations.
This means that it can be concluded that the results we see in the newer simulations (where the BP is removed and reinforcements are added) are realistic and are not due to deviation of simulation setup procedures.
This evidence supports that:
the results we are seeing are accurate
the current simulations are not largely deviating from the MIDSUN simulation procedures
