Foam-Agent

LLM based multi-agent framework that automates OpenFOAM CFD workflows from natural language prompts, handling meshing, case setup, execution and error correction, and exposes the workflow as an MCP server.

What it does and how it connects

Foam-Agent automates OpenFOAM simulations from a natural language prompt or an existing case. Its agents plan the case, prepare meshes and input files, run locally or through Slurm, repair errors, and optionally visualize results.

It targets OpenFOAM Foundation v10 by default, with a separate native ESI/OpenCFD v2006 target, and retrieves tutorial references through FAISS indices for the selected target. Model backends include OpenAI, Codex subscription, Anthropic, Bedrock, Ollama, and DeepSeek, and the workflow is exposed through MCP integration for Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

The recommended install is Docker, which bundles Foundation OpenFOAM v10, Python dependencies, tutorial indices, and the default embedding weights, so no host Conda, OpenFOAM, or GPU is needed. The project is published as a paper (arXiv 2505.04997) in Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, per the README and repo description.

What engineers report

  • Great tool! But: Why are this old versions here supported? OF V14 and ESI 26.06 are actual.
  • Ansys SimAI
