A Self-Refining Agent Takes On OpenFOAM Configuration, One of Engineering's Reliable Time Sinks
AutoFOAM targets the setup files that make open-source computational fluid dynamics hard to use, part of a wider push toward agents that carry domain-specific workflow knowledge.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used across aerospace, automotive and energy engineering, and the open-source solver OpenFOAM is widely deployed and widely disliked for the same reason. Producing a valid simulation requires substantia…
