Stress checks against your standard

In our lab, an AI agent ran SOLIDWORKS Simulation on a copy of a part, judged it against a written standard, then changed it until it passed.

This is what we are building, not something you can buy. Lab work appears in demos and case studies, and is not in any version for sale.

What we are building

  • A study written once: loads, fixtures and faces picked by the feature that made them, with an expected count, so a model change cannot quietly move a load.
  • Run on a copy in SOLIDWORKS Simulation. The original is never saved.
  • Judged against a written standard: factor of safety on yield and ultimate, deflection, and elements through the thinnest wall. Anything it cannot measure is marked open, never passed.
  • Changed only where the study allows, within stated bounds, then rebuilt and run again. On CR-110 the small end was short in tension (factor of safety 1.80 against 2.0); after redesign it passed at 2.34, and the rod and cap were 15.5 g lighter.
  • Every run leaves a results bundle that the ParaCrux app turns into a printable report, or a comparison of runs, in your own template.

1:22LAB CASE STUDY · 29 SEP 2026CR-110 stress check: loaded, judged, changed, checked againNarrated by Tom, with optional English captions. From our lab: an AI agent ran SOLIDWORKS Simulation on a copy of CR-110 and judged the results against a written standard. The numbers and contour plots are from that run; the loads are assumed design values and the isometric drawings are illustrations.Watch it

What it is not, yet

  • Simulation checks are not in the Agent you can buy.
  • The loads in the case study are our assumption for a small single-cylinder engine, not measured values.
  • Buckling and fatigue were not judged. A con rod is fatigue-critical, and a static pass is not fitness for service.
  • Prepared, not certified: results need review by a competent engineer.
