Scientific Simulation Runner

The Problem

Scientific and engineering simulations are essential for research and product development, but managing them is tedious. Researchers spend hours configuring parameters, submitting jobs, monitoring for errors, and analysing outputs. Parameter sweeps can involve hundreds of individual runs, each needing tracking and documentation. When a simulation fails at hour 40 of a 48-hour run because of a configuration error, someone has to diagnose it, fix it, and start again.

Computational resources are expensive, too. Wasted compute time from misconfigured runs adds up quickly.

How It Works

The agent handles simulation workflow management across platforms like ANSYS, COMSOL, and Abaqus. It configures parameter sweeps, schedules jobs to use available compute resources efficiently, and monitors running simulations for errors. When a run completes, it collects results, generates visualisations, and documents everything for reproducibility.

If something goes wrong mid-run, the agent detects the issue early and can flag it or restart with corrected parameters, saving hours of wasted compute time.

Reproducibility Built In

One of the less obvious benefits is documentation. Every simulation run gets logged with its full parameter set, software version, and environment details. This matters for peer review, regulatory submissions, and reproducing your own results six months later. The agent handles this record-keeping automatically, the kind of task researchers know they should do but skip under time pressure.
