Canvas & Artifacts

Document creation/editing tools and structured in-chat artifact outputs.

SimPilot includes document tools and artifact rendering so you can produce and inspect structured outputs without leaving chat.

Canvas document tools

The agent can create and edit three document types:
  • Text documents for notes, specs, and reports
  • Code documents for scripts and snippets
  • Sheet documents for tabular workflows
You can also ask the agent to read back an existing document and continue editing from its current content.

Artifact outputs

When tools run, SimPilot can render specialized artifacts inline. Common examples include:
  • Simulation log artifacts
  • OpenFOAM dictionary/file previews
  • Residual or quantity visualizations
  • Mesh or case-structure previews
  • Generated document artifacts
Artifact shape depends on which tools were invoked and what data is available.

Practical workflow

  1. Ask the agent to generate a structured output (for example: checklist, script, report section).
  2. Review the artifact in chat.
  3. Request targeted edits (for example: "rewrite section 2 for an operations audience").
  4. Export when ready.

Relationship to chat and exports

  • Chat controls execution and context.
  • Canvas/artifacts provide structured outputs and edit loops.
  • Export tools package final outputs for handoff.
See Exports & Reports for export formats.
