arXiv:2602. 07083v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Structural modeling is a fundamental component of computational engineering science, in which even minor physical inconsistencies or specification violations may invalidate downstream simulations.

arXiv:2606. 17577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-driven engineering workflows face particular challenges in crash safety design: unlike aerodynamics, crash events involve highly nonlinear contact dynamics, material nonlinearity, and discrete state transitions that are difficult to capture with data-driven surrogate models.

arXiv:2606. 10928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models can reduce the manual effort required to set up finite element simulations, but they introduce reliability risks when generated solver code lies on the critical path.
By Nilay Upadhyay, Wesley F. Reinhart
arXiv:2608. 15591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents deployed in production environments face a fundamental tension: the agent's behavior is frozen at deployment time, while the business rules and edge cases it must handle continue to evolve.

arXiv:2607. 14896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Addressing a structural-engineering request requires more than a single answer; it requires a chain of interdependent artifacts: interpreted requirements, a computable model, validation records, solver outputs, code-check records, and a final report.

arXiv:2508. 19186v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reactive obstacle avoidance methods often cause agents to become trapped in local minima, because they can often only reason one step ahead (i.

arXiv:2606. 27611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Operations Research (OR) provides a rigorous framework for high-stakes decision-making, but effective OR modeling requires substantial domain knowledge, mathematical abstraction, and solver expertise.

arXiv:2608. 03600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Partial differential equations (PDEs) become actionable in science and engineering not as isolated formulae, but as executable workflows that connect modelling assumptions, governing equations, numerical solvers, diagnostics, and decisions.
