mechanical-sim SKILL.md skillA
mechanical-sim from svd-ai-lab/sim-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when driving Ansys Mechanical via PyMechanical (ansys-mechanical-core) through the sim runtime, or reading solved `.rst` files with DPF on the agent side. Covers boundary conditions, loads, solver execution, and result extraction. This is the physics-layer counterpart to workbench-sim (which orchestrates cells 1-3); mechanical-sim owns cells 4-6 of the Static Structural workflow. Observation commands (`uv run sim screenshot` / `uv run sim inspect`) are tightly coupled with both the…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# mechanical-sim
This file is the **Ansys Mechanical** index. Use DPF for solved `.rst` files
on disk; use sim-cli/PyMechanical for live Mechanical sessions that mutate,
solve, inspect, or update the GUI-backed project.
This is **not** the Abaqus plugin. Do not run Abaqus `.inp` decks or
Abaqus/CAE scripts here. Use `solver=abaqus` for Dassault SIMULIA Abaqus;
use `solver=mechanical` only for Ansys Mechanical / PyMechanical sessions.
The `/connect` response tells you which active layers apply:
```json
"skills": {
"root": "<sim-skills>/mechanical",
"active_sdk_layer": "0.12",
"active_solver_layer": "24.1"
}
```
Always read `base/`, then your active `sdk/<version>/`, then your active
`solver/<version>/`. Later layers override earlier ones on identically-named
files.

## First principles
1. **Workbench orchestrates, Mechanical computes.** PyWorkbench drives
Engineering Data / Geometry / Model. PyMechanical drives Setup /
Solution / Results. Do not try to define boundary conditions via
Workbench scripting — that belongs here.
2. **Observation is SDK+GUI coupled.** Every `uv run sim exec` is a

How to install
mdr add svd-ai-lab/sim-cli/mechanical-sim@sha256:8d050555bb04a224The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260511.22aa66a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
