I was trying to solve this simple beam deflection problem and been getting inconsistent results in various models (O1 mini and Gemini 2.0 flash thinking experimental) between different runs. Do you get consistent deflection numbers?

> An 6061-T6 aluminum alloy hollow round 2 in diameter beam with 0.125 in thickness and length 120 in is simply supported at each end. A point load of 100 lb is applied at the middle. What is the deflect in the middle and 12 in from the ends.
