arXiv:2606. 00138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Finite element analysis (FEA) is the most important numerical approach for solid mechanics.
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.
The paper introduces little m, an AI agent that helps formulate industrial process control models by combining a domain-specific knowledge repository with LLM-driven interaction. It tackles the challenge of converting messy real-world specifications, including natural language and spatial diagrams, into rigorous mathematical optimization models. The authors also present IPC-Bench, a multimodal dataset of 50 canonical scenarios, and show through automated and human evaluations that little m outperforms state‑of‑the‑art LLMs in generating semantically correct models.
arXiv:2505. 04997v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been the main workhorse of computational physics, yet its steep learning curve and fragmented, multi-stage workflow create significant barriers to entry.
arXiv:2606. 12025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Finite element (FE) modeling of safety-critical infrastructure such as bridge barriers requires high-fidelity nonlinear dynamic analysis, yet the current FE modeling process remains labor-intensive and lacks automation.
arXiv:2608. 15776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the powerful multi-scale modeling methods and high-throughput infrastructures established in the materials community, real material computation workflows remain fragmented and heavily manual, requiring researchers to constantly bridge software tools, data analysis, and intermediate decisions.
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.
arXiv:2609.23360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Engineering predictions require physical mechanisms to be translated consistently into equations, discretization, code, and validation, yet errors ca...
arXiv:2608. 14615v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on established code-generation and mathematical-reasoning benchmarks, but their capabilities in mechanics and spatial geometry, here denoted as mechanical engineering awareness, has not been quantified systematically.
arXiv:2606. 12040v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The design of reinforced concrete highway barriers is a safety-critical process that requires strict compliance with regulatory provisions such as the AASHTO-LRFD bridge design guidelines.
arXiv:2606. 09037v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This study presents a large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent framework for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) design optimization that mitigates limitations of conventional workflows: expertise-dependent problem setup and data preparation, the prohibitive computational cost of finite element analysis (FEA), and the unreliability of AI surrogates in unexplored regions.
arXiv:2608. 15881v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) is an open-source finite-element framework for building multiphysics simulation applications.
The paper introduces a new benchmark that evaluates large language models (LLMs) on their agentic mathematical reasoning rather than just final answers. It aligns problem‑solving behaviors with a taxonomy of reusable mathematical atomic capabilities and includes planning, action, and feedback tasks in both textual and multimodal settings. Experiments show that models with similar end‑to‑end accuracy can have very different agentic profiles, highlighting the importance of process‑level evaluation.
