This is an exciting direction for Fusion Simulation. I think the API could be especially valuable for automating repetitive simulation workflows instead of treating each study as a completely manual process.
For example, I'd be interested in automating the setup of simulation studies, applying predefined materials and boundary conditions, running multiple design variants, and collecting the key results for comparison. A workflow where a designer could make several geometry changes and have Fusion automatically run the appropriate simulations and summarize which configuration performs best would be particularly useful.
For agentic workflows, I could see simulation becoming a validation step in the design loop: the agent proposes a design, runs the appropriate simulation, evaluates the results against specified requirements, identifies problems, and iterates on the design. The important part will be giving the agent enough control over simulation setup while still allowing the engineer to review and approve critical assumptions.
I'd also be interested in APIs for retrieving simulation results in a structured format. That would make it much easier to integrate Fusion Simulation with external analysis tools, optimization workflows, and custom engineering pipelines.
The ability to automate simulation without removing the engineer from the decision-making process could make this a very powerful addition to Fusion.
