Operational gap this product closes

Most CAE teams already have strong solvers but weak run operations. CAE Job Manager addresses traceability, visibility, and failure triage in one lightweight layer.

Where is that analysis from last month?

20-40 minutes/day lost on folder search.

Was this result from A1 or A2 model version?

Duplicate reruns for already completed work.

Did my overnight job finish or stall?

Manual checking interrupts deep engineering work.

What solver settings produced this success case?

Missing run metadata slows design iteration.

Can the team see status without pinging me?

Low visibility across analysts and reviewers.

I need lightweight tracking without heavy PLM rollout.

Too much process overhead for small CAE teams.

Technical capabilities

Core modules extracted from your reference landing page and aligned for technical buyer review.

Passive Job Monitoring

Watch selected folders and auto-register jobs from solver input files. No launcher lock-in, no workflow rewrite.

.fem.inp.bdf.kwatch service

Real-Time Log Parsing

Parse solver logs continuously for progress, run stage, warnings, and error signatures as they happen.

Searchable Job History

Index name, date, model revision, solver, tags, and status so prior runs can be retrieved in seconds.

Run Diff and Comparison

Compare two runs to identify what changed in input deck, constraints, mesh, and outcome summary.

Error Triage Assistant

Optional local LLM mode summarizes logs and flags likely root causes without sending data to cloud.

Team Coordination Layer

Shared status board and standardized notes reduce handoff friction between analysts, leads, and test teams.

Architecture and control model

Deterministic parser logic remains the source of truth. AI assistance, when enabled, acts as a sidecar for summarization and suggestions.

Watcher and Ingestion

File watchers detect new runs, collect basic metadata, and attach project context.

Parser and Classification

Log adapters parse solver output, map state transitions, and classify warnings/errors.

Storage and Search

Local SQLite by default with extensible API path for team-level persistence.

UI and Collaboration

Dashboard, filters, run detail pane, and suggestion stream for operational decisions.

Optional AI Copilot

Local model endpoint provides explainability hints; deterministic parsing remains source of truth.

Current technical framing for MVP communication with engineering teams.

Suggested implementation rollout

A practical 4-week deployment path for a first CAE team, focused on run visibility and error triage before broader automation.

STEP 1

Week 1: map active solver workflows and watched directories.

STEP 2

Week 2: configure parser adapters and state mapping for your team.

STEP 3

Week 3: stand up dashboard views and run-history indexing.

STEP 4

Week 4: validate error triage flow and finalize rollout checklist.
