Status: Exploration
Last synthesized: April 2026
Purpose: Home for the simulation-autonomy research lane, especially pre-mesh simplification and geometry cleanup.

What This Section Is For

Autonomous CAE stays in research mode. This section captures the core autonomy problem, why pre-mesh simplification matters more than solver automation, and what technical approaches might make a future CAE agent credible.

Open First

• CAE Autonomy Challenges
• Simulation Manager Brief

Current vs Reference

• Current: problem framing, technical options, and research direction for pre-mesh simplification
• Current: this is not an active product build and should be read as an exploratory lane
• Reference: downstream productization decisions remain speculative until the geometry and workflow bottlenecks are better proven
