AI-Assisted Simulation Debugger

Vision

Engineering simulations often fail silently.

Numerical instability, invalid assumptions, parameter inconsistency, and mesh issues can propagate through complex systems in non-obvious ways.

This project explores whether AI systems can assist engineers in debugging simulation workflows.

Central Idea

Treat simulation failures not as isolated errors, but as:

propagating structural inconsistencies.

Proposed Workflow
