arXiv:2605.28978v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) serves as the cornerstone of modern engineering design. However, its workflow is inherently complex and relies heavily on domain expertise. Although recent efforts have integrated Large Language Models (LLMs) into FEA, existing approaches face limitations in handling multimodal inputs and executing complex tasks. To address these limitations, we propose VFEAgent, an end-to-end multi-agent system designed to automate FEA modeling and simulation directly from input images and problem descriptions. Our methodology integ
The increasing sophistication of multimodal LLMs and the demand for automation in complex engineering tasks are converging, enabling advanced applications like VFEAgent.
This development indicates a significant step towards fully automating highly specialized, expertise-dependent engineering workflows, potentially lowering barriers to entry and accelerating design cycles.
The reliance on human domain experts for the full Finite Element Analysis workflow could be reduced, shifting towards AI-driven, end-to-end solutions from image input to simulation.

Engineers can automate complex simulation tasks, accelerating product development and research.
Reduced dependency on highly specialized human expertise might lead to a broader application of FEA in smaller firms and diverse industries.
The democratization of FEA capabilities could foster rapid innovation cycles across multiple engineering and design disciplines, impacting intellectual property generation.
