Key Points

  • COSMO-Agent is a tool-augmented RL framework that uses LLMs to automate the full closed-loop CAD-CAE workflow, turning simulation results into valid geometric revisions under constraints.
  • The method models CAD generation, CAE solving, results parsing, and parametric geometry editing as an interactive RL environment where the LLM orchestrates external tools.
  • A multi-constraint reward is introduced to improve training stability and industrial readiness by jointly optimizing feasibility, toolchain robustness, and structured output validity.
  • The work also provides an industry-aligned dataset with executable CAD-CAE tasks across 25 component categories to support realistic training and evaluation.
  • Reported experiments indicate COSMO-Agent training boosts small open-source LLMs for constraint-driven design, outperforming other open-source and closed-source baselines on feasibility, efficiency, and stability.

Abstract

Iterative industrial design-simulation optimization is bottlenecked by the CAD-CAE semantic gap: translating simulation feedback into valid geometric edits under diverse, coupled constraints. To fill this gap, we propose COSMO-Agent (Closed-loop Optimization, Simulation, and Modeling Orchestration), a tool-augmented reinforcement learning (RL) framework that teaches LLMs to complete the closed-loop CAD-CAE process. Specifically, we cast CAD generation, CAE solving, result parsing, and geometry revision as an interactive RL environment, where an LLM learns to orchestrate external tools and revise parametric geometries until constraints are satisfied. To make this learning stable and industrially usable, we design a multi-constraint reward that jointly encourages feasibility, toolchain robustness, and structured output validity. In addition, we contribute an industry-aligned dataset that covers 25 component categories with executable CAD-CAE tasks to support realistic training and evaluation. Experiments show that COSMO-Agent training substantially improves small open-source LLMs for constraint-driven design, exceeding large open-source and strong closed-source models in feasibility, efficiency, and stability.
