A decision-centered framework for simulation configuration in knowledge-intensive engineering design

Huiyun Hao, Wenhao Zhao, Yu Huang

Engineering design, including generative design, relies on simulation to evaluate design candidates, yet the associated configuration choices are often treated as predefined. Choices about physical models, discretization, solver settings, and validation affect numerical stabil...
