Large Language Models and their Awareness of Mechanics and Spatial Geometry

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.

RealCADBench: Benchmarking Parametric CAD Modeling from Industrial Design Intents

RealCADBench is a new benchmark for evaluating intent‑to‑program parametric CAD modeling, featuring 12,632 tasks drawn from 19 factory‑automation categories and covering text, 2D drawings, product photos, and rendered images for both Part and Assembly modeling. The study reports results on a 1,770‑task evaluation slice, using metrics such as executability, Solid IoU, Surface IoU, and a rubric‑based visual‑semantic identity Judge. Across nine standalone and six frontier‑scale large models, no single model dominates all four metrics, highlighting diverse strengths and failure modes like missing fine structures and incorrect assembly placement.

Embodied CAD: Solver-Grounded LLM Agents for Parametric B-Rep Assembly Modeling

arXiv:2606. 31252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can write plausible CAD scripts, but reliable industrial CAD modeling requires more than syntactically valid code: every feature, placement, and assembly relation must be accepted by an exact geometric kernel while remaining editable as parametric boundary representation geometry.
