The paper presents a novel multi‑agent approach to generating physics‑constrained constitutive models using large language models (LLMs). A Creator agent proposes a model tailored to the data, while an Inspector agent audits each proposal against nine physical constraints and requests refinement if violations occur. Experiments with constitutive artificial neural networks on brain tissue, rubber, and porcine skin show that adding the Inspector increases the proportion of models passing all checks from 90 % to 95 % for Claude Opus 4.7 and from 47 % to 60 % for Kimi K2.5, while the resulting models match or exceed expert‑designed models in accuracy and generalization.

PhysicsBench is a unified benchmark and leaderboard that evaluates both generative and predictive AI models for engineering design and simulation under a single standardized procedure. It covers seven generation and prediction tasks across 1D, 2D, and 3D domains, ranking 66 models on nine industrial‑scale CAD/CFD/FEA datasets and public references, expanded into 28 configurations. The evaluation uses realistic, limited data scales and a common metric suite that captures geometric fidelity, physical‑field accuracy, and engineering‑specific validity, with rankings derived via a PageRank‑based dominance graph and a separate efficiency view.

arXiv:2607. 07863v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In physically dominated machining processes, experimental datasets are small, expensive, and material-specific; in this regime, data curation, evaluation design, and the form of physics integration can matter as much as the learning algorithm.
