Key Integration Points

1. LLM → Orchestrator

Input (Phase 2.7 output):

{
  "engineering_features": [
    {
      "action": "extract_1d_element_forces",
      "domain": "result_extraction",
      "params": {
        "element_types": ["CBAR"],
        "direction": "Z"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Processing:

for feature in llm_output['engineering_features']:
    if feature['domain'] == 'result_extraction':
        extractor = orchestrator.generate_extractor_from_feature(feature)

2. Orchestrator → Research Agent

Request to Phase 3:

research_request = {
    'action': 'extract_1d_element_forces',
    'domain': 'result_extraction',
    'description': 'Extract element forces from CBAR in Z direction',
    'params': {
        'element_types': ['CBAR'],
        'direction': 'Z'
    }
}

pattern = research_agent.research_extraction(research_request)
code = research_agent.generate_extractor_code(research_request)

Response:

  • pattern: ExtractionPattern(name='cbar_force', ...)
  • code: Complete Python module string

3. Generated Code → Execution

Dynamic Loading:

# Import the generated module
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(name, file_path)
module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(module)

# Get the function
extractor_func = getattr(module, function_name)

# Execute
result = extractor_func(op2_file, **params)

4. Smart Parameter Filtering

Different extraction patterns need different parameters:

if pattern_name == 'displacement':
    # Only pass subcase (no direction, element_type, etc.)
    params = {k: v for k, v in kwargs.items() if k in ['subcase']}

elif pattern_name == 'cbar_force':
    # Pass direction and subcase
    params = {k: v for k, v in kwargs.items() if k in ['direction', 'subcase']}

elif pattern_name == 'solid_stress':
    # Pass element_type and subcase
    params = {k: v for k, v in kwargs.items() if k in ['element_type', 'subcase']}

This prevents errors from passing irrelevant parameters!

Testing

Test File: tests/test_phase_3_1_integration.py

Test 1: End-to-End Workflow

STEP 1: Phase 2.7 LLM Analysis
  - 1 engineering feature
  - 2 inline calculations
  - 1 post-processing hook

STEP 2: Phase 3.1 Orchestrator
  - Generated 1 extractor (extract_displacement)

STEP 3: Execution on Real OP2
  - OP2 File: bracket_sim1-solution_1.op2
  - Result: max_displacement = 0.361783mm at node 91

STEP 4: Inline Calculations
  - norm_disp = 0.361783 / 5.0 = 0.072357

STEP 5: Post-Processing Hook
  - weighted_objective = 0.072357

Result: PASSED!

Test 2: Multiple Extractors

LLM Output:
  - extract_displacement
  - extract_solid_stress

Result: Generated 2 extractors
  - extract_displacement (displacement pattern)
  - extract_solid_stress (solid_stress pattern)

Result: PASSED!

Benefits

1. LLM-Enhanced Flexibility

Traditional Manual Workflow:

1. User describes optimization
2. Engineer manually writes OP2 extractor
3. Engineer manually writes calculations
4. Engineer manually writes objective function
5. Engineer integrates with optimization runner
Time: Hours to days

LLM-Enhanced Workflow:

1. User describes optimization in natural language
2. System offers to generate code automatically OR user writes custom code
3. Hybrid approach: mix automated and manual components as needed
Time: Seconds to minutes (user choice)

2. Reduced Learning Curve

LLM assistance helps users who are unfamiliar with:

  • pyNastran API (can still write custom extractors if desired)
  • OP2 file structure (LLM provides templates)
  • Python coding best practices (LLM generates examples)
  • Optimization framework patterns (LLM suggests approaches)

Users can describe goals in natural language and choose their preferred level of automation!

3. Quality LLM-Generated Code

When using automated generation, code uses:

  • Proven extraction patterns from research agent
  • Correct API paths from documentation
  • Proper data structure access
  • Error handling and validation

Users can review, modify, or replace generated code as needed!

4. Extensible

Adding new extraction patterns:

  1. Research agent learns from pyNastran docs
  2. Stores pattern in knowledge base
  3. Available immediately for all future requests

Future Enhancements

Phase 3.2: Optimization Runner Integration

Next Step: Integrate orchestrator with optimization runner for complete automation:

class OptimizationRunner:
    def __init__(self, llm_output: Dict):
        # Process LLM output
        self.orchestrator = ExtractorOrchestrator()
        self.extractors = self.orchestrator.process_llm_workflow(llm_output)

        # Generate inline calculations (Phase 2.8)
        self.calculator = InlineCodeGenerator()
        self.calculations = self.calculator.generate(llm_output)

        # Generate hooks (Phase 2.9)
        self.hook_gen = HookGenerator()
        self.hooks = self.hook_gen.generate_lifecycle_hooks(llm_output)

    def run_trial(self, trial_number, design_variables):
        # Run NX solve
        op2_file = self.nx_solver.run(...)

        # Extract results using generated extractors
        results = {}
        for extractor_name in self.extractors:
            results.update(
                self.orchestrator.execute_extractor(extractor_name, op2_file)
            )

        # Execute inline calculations
        calculations = self.calculator.execute(results)

        # Execute hooks
        hook_results = self.hook_manager.execute_hooks('post_calculation', {
            'results': results,
            'calculations': calculations
        })

        # Return objective
        return hook_results.get('objective')

Phase 3.3: Error Recovery

  • Detect extraction failures
  • Attempt pattern variations
  • Fallback to generic extractors
  • Log failures for pattern learning

Phase 3.4: Performance Optimization

  • Cache OP2 reading for multiple extractions
  • Parallel extraction for multiple result types
  • Reuse loaded models across trials

Phase 3.5: Pattern Expansion

  • Learn patterns for more element types
  • Composite stress/strain
  • Eigenvectors/eigenvalues
  • F06 result extraction
  • XDB database extraction
