- For
- CAD users working with coding agents
- Worth noticing
- Its measurement tool reads exact values from CAD geometry rather than the display mesh; FEM analysis uses CalculiX.
Field notes
Models are stored as Python scripts, with the agent working in a built-in terminal and Git tracking versions. The interface can rebuild after code changes, and users can send feedback by annotating the view or selecting a part. The showcased CNC router is specified with a 300 × 300 × 80 mm work area; a separate shelf example uses CalculiX to show stress and deflection.
