Building complex parametric 3D models in days with the Allsolve Agent

Jack Massaad, a Senior Development Engineer at KROHNE, approached Allsolve Agent the way he approaches any new AI tool: as a skeptic. His method is to assume the tool will fail, give it the simplest possible task first, then increase complexity by small steps until it breaks, so he learns exactly where the limits are before trusting it with anything real.

Working this way, he used the Agent to build a complex parametric 3D model of an ultrasonic flow metering setup. Three things stood out.

1. It says what it will do before it does it. Rather than acting silently, the Agent describes each operation it is about to perform and waits for the user to accept or reject it. For engineers wary of letting an AI near a carefully built model, that approval step directly answers the concern that the tool might change something without them noticing.

2. It understood the physics, not just the command. When Jack needed to set the polarization direction of the piezoelectric elements, he described the orientation the way he thinks about it, as an angle relative to one axis. The Agent recognized that Allsolve's convention defines that orientation as a rotation about a different axis, explained the distinction, and applied it correctly. It gave him more than he asked for, and the extra explanation was exactly what he needed.

3. It handled genuinely complex parametric geometry. The model was not a simple shape. It combined multiple parameterized components and orientations that would be very time-consuming to build by hand. The Agent accelerated that work substantially.
