New Papers Push Language Agents Into Simulation Setup and Optimization Modeling
One system configures and self-corrects OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics cases, another benchmark tests whether models can turn word problems into black-box optimization formulations.
Two papers posted to arXiv today address the same constraint from different directions, which is the expert labor required to state an engineering problem in a form a solver can accept. AutoFOAM is described by its authors as a self-refinin…
