Problem:
When running optimization studies with multiple solutions (e.g., static + modal),
NX opens solution monitor windows for each trial. These windows superpose and cause
usability issues during long optimization runs.
Solution:
- Automatically disable solution monitor when solving all solutions (solution_name=None)
- Loop through all solutions and set "solution monitor" property to False
- Implemented in solve_simulation.py before solve execution (lines 271-295)
- Includes error handling with graceful fallback
Benefits:
- No monitor window pile-up during optimization studies
- Better performance (no GUI overhead)
- No user configuration required - works automatically
- Based on user-recorded journal (journal_monitor_window_off.py)
Documentation:
- Updated docs/NX_MULTI_SOLUTION_PROTOCOL.md with solution monitor control section
- Added implementation details and when the feature activates
- Cross-referenced user's recorded journal
Implementation: optimization_engine/solve_simulation.py
Documentation: docs/NX_MULTI_SOLUTION_PROTOCOL.md

MAJOR ARCHITECTURE REFACTOR - Clean Study Folders
Problem Identified by User:
"My study folder is a mess, why? I want some order and real structure to develop
an insanely good engineering software that evolve with time."
- Every substudy was generating duplicate extractor code
- Study folders polluted with reusable library code (generated_extractors/, generated_hooks/)
- No code reuse across studies
- Not production-grade architecture
Solution - Centralized Library System:
Implemented smart library with signature-based deduplication:
- Core extractors in optimization_engine/extractors/
- Studies only store metadata (extractors_manifest.json)
- Clean separation: studies = data, core = code
Architecture:
BEFORE (BAD):
studies/my_study/
generated_extractors/ ❌ Code pollution!
extract_displacement.py
extract_von_mises_stress.py
generated_hooks/ ❌ Code pollution!
llm_workflow_config.json
results.json
AFTER (GOOD):
optimization_engine/extractors/ ✓ Core library
extract_displacement.py
extract_stress.py
catalog.json
studies/my_study/
extractors_manifest.json ✓ Just references!
llm_workflow_config.json ✓ Config
optimization_results.json ✓ Results
New Components:
1. ExtractorLibrary (extractor_library.py)
- Signature-based deduplication
- Centralized catalog (catalog.json)
- Study manifest generation
- Reusability across all studies
2. Updated ExtractorOrchestrator
- Uses core library instead of per-study generation
- Creates manifest instead of copying code
- Backward compatible (legacy mode available)
3. Updated LLMOptimizationRunner
- Removed generated_extractors/ directory creation
- Removed generated_hooks/ directory creation
- Uses core library exclusively
4. Updated Tests
- Verifies extractors_manifest.json exists
- Checks for clean study folder structure
- All 18/18 checks pass
Results:
Study folders NOW ONLY contain:
✓ extractors_manifest.json - references to core library
✓ llm_workflow_config.json - study configuration
✓ optimization_results.json - optimization results
✓ optimization_history.json - trial history
✓ .db file - Optuna database
Core library contains:
✓ extract_displacement.py - reusable across ALL studies
✓ extract_von_mises_stress.py - reusable across ALL studies
✓ extract_mass.py - reusable across ALL studies
✓ catalog.json - tracks all extractors with signatures
Benefits:
- Clean, professional study folder structure
- Code reuse eliminates duplication
- Library grows over time, studies stay clean
- Production-grade architecture
- "Insanely good engineering software that evolves with time"
Testing:
E2E test passes with clean folder structure
- No generated_extractors/ pollution
- Manifest correctly references library
- Core library populated with reusable extractors
- Study folder professional and minimal
Documentation:
- Added comprehensive architecture doc (docs/ARCHITECTURE_REFACTOR_NOV17.md)
- Includes migration guide
- Documents future work (hooks library, versioning, CLI tools)
Next Steps:
- Apply same architecture to hooks library
- Add auto-generated documentation for library
- Implement versioning for reproducibility
