Agentic AI for engineering workflows
Highly trained engineers spend their days on setup, drafting and moving data between CAD, meshing and solver tools. We turn those steps into a workflow that runs the same way every time, then put agents on the parts that need judgement.
Which one do I need?
Three products, one per way of working
Iso and Spectra work at the design stage: Iso when a designer wants help in the moment, Spectra when the same design task runs again and again. AgentCrew takes over at simulation.

Simulation
| Compare | DesignSpectra | DesignIso | SimulationAgentCrew |
|---|---|---|---|
| In one line | Design workflows that combine deterministic steps with AI. | An AI assistant you chat with inside your CAD tool. | Agents that prepare, set up and run your simulations. |
| How you use it | Set the workflow and design rules up once. It runs on every new job, with an engineer approving each decision. | Ask in plain language while you model, in the CAD tool you already use. | Describe the run in a sentence. The agents plan it, run it, and you supervise. |
| Pick it when | You design many variants of the same product from specs or RFQs. | Your designers need help with the model in front of them. | Your team runs many simulations and loses its days to setup. |
| Ends with | A rule-checked CAD model, saved to PDM. | Your model, drawing, document or report. | A solved case, checked at each stage, and an engineering report. |

Workflow automation
Routine steps become one repeatable process
Automation comes first. It removes manual repetition from daily simulation work, and it captures the structured data that later AI models need.
- Standardized execution
- Geometry, meshing, solver setup, solution and reports run as a single process.
- Flexible integration
- The workflow plugs into the tools your team already uses.
- Low-code and no-code
- Engineers can adjust a workflow without writing software.
- Parametrization and DOE
- A parametrized workflow becomes a design-space study.
FAQ
Clearly answered
01What is the difference between Curlscape AgentCrew, Spectra and Iso?
They suit different ways of working. Curlscape Iso is an AI assistant you chat with inside your CAD tool, for help with the model in front of you. Curlscape Spectra runs repeatable design workflows that combine deterministic steps with AI, for design tasks that come round again and again. Curlscape AgentCrew runs agents that prepare, set up and run simulations. Iso and Spectra work at the design stage; AgentCrew takes over at simulation.
Compare all three02Is agentic AI the same as workflow automation?
No, and Curlscape uses both. Workflow automation runs the same steps the same way every time; agentic AI handles the steps that need judgement, such as reading a free-form requirement or choosing boundary conditions. Curlscape automates the routine steps first, which also captures the structured data later AI models need, then puts agents on the rest.
03Which CAD and CAE tools does Curlscape's agentic AI work with?
Curlscape AgentCrew works with Siemens NX, Solid Edge, FreeCAD, Ansys meshing and solvers, snappyHexMesh and OpenFOAM. Curlscape Spectra works in Solid Edge and Siemens NX, and Curlscape Iso works inside SolidWorks and Solid Edge. New connectors are scoped as part of a pilot.

The sign-convention error the agent caught itself
A post-processing sign error slipped into an automated study. A verification agent flagged it as physically implausible before it reached the report.
