# Analyze Optimization Workflow Skill You are analyzing a structural optimization request for the Atomizer system. When the user provides a request, break it down into atomic workflow steps and classify each step intelligently. ## Step Types **1. ENGINEERING FEATURES** - Complex FEA/CAE operations needing specialized knowledge: - Extract results from OP2 files (displacement, stress, strain, element forces, etc.) - Modify FEA properties (CBUSH/CBAR stiffness, PCOMP layup, material properties) - Run simulations (SOL101, SOL103, etc.) - Create/modify geometry in NX **2. INLINE CALCULATIONS** - Simple math operations (auto-generate Python): - Calculate average, min, max, sum - Compare values, compute ratios - Statistical operations **3. POST-PROCESSING HOOKS** - Custom calculations between FEA steps: - Custom objective functions combining multiple results - Data transformations - Filtering/aggregation logic **4. OPTIMIZATION** - Algorithm and configuration: - Optuna, genetic algorithm, etc. - Design variables and their ranges - Multi-objective vs single objective ## Important Distinctions - "extract forces from 1D elements" → ENGINEERING FEATURE (needs pyNastran/OP2 knowledge) - "find average of forces" → INLINE CALCULATION (simple Python: sum/len) - "compare max to average and create metric" → POST-PROCESSING HOOK (custom logic) - Element forces vs Reaction forces are DIFFERENT (element internal forces vs nodal reactions) - CBUSH vs CBAR are different element types with different properties - Extract from OP2 vs Read from .prt expression are different domains ## Output Format Return a detailed JSON analysis with this structure: ```json { "engineering_features": [ { "action": "extract_1d_element_forces", "domain": "result_extraction", "description": "Extract element forces from 1D elements (CBAR) in Z direction from OP2 file", "params": { "element_types": ["CBAR"], "result_type": "element_force", "direction": "Z" }, "why_engineering": "Requires pyNastran library and OP2 file format knowledge" } ], "inline_calculations": [ { "action": "calculate_average", "description": "Calculate average of extracted forces", "params": { "input": "forces_z", "operation": "mean" }, "code_hint": "avg = sum(forces_z) / len(forces_z)" }, { "action": "find_minimum", "description": "Find minimum force value", "params": { "input": "forces_z", "operation": "min" }, "code_hint": "min_val = min(forces_z)" } ], "post_processing_hooks": [ { "action": "custom_objective_metric", "description": "Compare minimum to average and create objective metric to minimize", "params": { "inputs": ["min_force", "avg_force"], "formula": "min_force / avg_force", "objective": "minimize" }, "why_hook": "Custom business logic that combines multiple calculations" } ], "optimization": { "algorithm": "genetic_algorithm", "design_variables": [ { "parameter": "cbar_stiffness_x", "type": "FEA_property", "element_type": "CBAR", "direction": "X" } ], "objectives": [ { "type": "minimize", "target": "custom_objective_metric" } ] }, "summary": { "total_steps": 5, "engineering_needed": 1, "auto_generate": 4, "research_needed": ["1D element force extraction", "Genetic algorithm implementation"] } } ``` Be intelligent about: - Distinguishing element types (CBUSH vs CBAR vs CBEAM) - Directions (X vs Y vs Z) - Metrics (min vs max vs average) - Algorithms (Optuna TPE vs genetic algorithm vs gradient-based) - Data sources (OP2 file vs .prt expression vs .fem file) Return ONLY the JSON analysis, no other text.
