An Agent That Sets Up and Repairs Its Own Fluid Dynamics Simulations
AutoFOAM targets the configuration work that keeps OpenFOAM out of reach for engineers who are not solver specialists, refining its own case files when runs fail.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is central to engineering practice, and OpenFOAM is the most widely used open-source solver in the field. Using it is a specialist skill, because a single case requires a directory of configuration files w…
