CaseSpec Reference

Field-by-field reference for the typed case contract every solver pack materializes from.

Top-level fields

  • id — case identifier (typed CaseId).
  • solver — solver pack id and version.
  • physics — discipline, regimes, compressibility, dimensionality.
  • geometry — references and named selections.
  • mesh — intent, targets, quality gates.
  • materials — typed constitutive models.
  • conditions — boundary and initial conditions, loads, constraints.
  • controls — schemes, relaxation, tolerances, timestepping.
  • postprocessing — recipes and figure-role bindings.
  • validationValidationSpec with QoIs and tolerances.
  • study — optional StudySpec for sweeps.
  • report — audience profile and standards-pack selection.
  • metadata — owner, tags, classification.

physics

discipline is one of cfd | fea | thermal | multiphysics. regimes is an array of typed predicates the solver pack inspects to choose a capability decision. compressibility is incompressible | compressible | low-mach. The platform refuses to materialize a CaseSpec whose declared physics contradicts its boundary conditions.

ValidationSpec

An array of typed QoIs (name, units, scope, extraction method, tolerance), plus residual targets, benchmark comparisons, mesh or time-step evidence requirements, citations, and review criteria. The report builder requires every published claim to map back to a ValidationSpec entry.

StudySpec

Optional. Declares variants, controlled variables, QoIs, stop criteria, and aggregation. When present, the platform produces a typed StudyRecord linking all participating runs.

Patching CaseSpecs

All edits — agent or UI — flow through typed patches: set, unset, addItem, removeItem. Patches carry author, timestamp, and reason. Hand-editing a generated solver file does not patch the spec and will be overwritten on the next materialization.
