anvilate

Anvilate is an open-source, local-first design agent for mechanical engineers. Describe a part in plain English and receive a physics-validated, parametric STEP or DXF file that drops straight into CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, or AutoCAD, alongside the editable Python source code.

What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: physics-validated screening checks: bending, deflection, buckling, resonance, bolted and welded connections, pressure, tolerance stack-ups · scorecard of pass / fail / not evaluated results, each citing its code clause · part geometry export as STEP and DXF · reading measurements from existing STEP, DXF, STL and 3MF files
Formats docs-verified: STEP · DXF · 3MF · QIF · PDF · HTML · text · MCP stdio
Access docs-verified: Free and open source under the MIT licence. Local install (Python 3.11+, pip). No account, no API key, no cloud service.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Lifting lug or padeye check against ASTM A36 with a required safety factor before fabrication · Steel base plate sizing and check for a column load, with STEP export for detailing · Mounting plate with a bolt hole pattern drawn to STEP or DXF for fabrication handoff · Bolted bracket-to-plate connection check with an assembly STEP file
Audience llm-inferred: mechanical engineers · structural engineers · CAD and BIM engineers

Limitations

Constraints docs-verified: pre-alpha status (v0.0.1) · not a CAD system and not a certification · wider geometry catalog, FEA and semantic PMI are still being built · DWG, IGES and native CAD files are not read; export STEP or DXF first
