Argus is Cosmon's AI agent for engineering. It connects directly to your installed CAD and simulation software and lets you control it through conversation — creating geometry, running analyses, debugging errors, and extracting results. Unlike general-purpose AI assistants, Argus has real access to your tools. When you ask it to create a sketch, it creates it in SolidWorks. When you ask it to run a mesh, it runs it in Ansys. ## What Argus can do Model and draft parts, run DFMA and design reviews, stack up tolerances, reverse engineer scans, and automate bulk CAD work — directly inside SolidWorks and other CAD tools. Set up simulations from scratch, diagnose solver failures, extract results, and generate reports — across Ansys, COMSOL, Abaqus, and Star-CCM+. ## How it works Argus sits between you and your software. You describe what you want, Argus determines the right sequence of operations, calls the appropriate tools in your CAD or simulation package, and reports back with results. ``` You → Argus → SolidWorks / Ansys / COMSOL / Abaqus / Star-CCM+ → Results ``` The Cosmon Connector runs on your machine and gives Argus secure, local access to your installed software. No files leave your machine without your knowledge. ## Explore Argus Connect your tools and run your first command in minutes. Learn the eight rules for getting precise, reliable results. Train Argus on a repeatable task once, then re-run it with a button. Modeling, drafting, DFMA, tolerance stack-up, and more. Preprocessing, troubleshooting, and postprocessing. CAD and simulation platforms supported by Argus, with version requirements. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
