FrankenSim: A Pure-Rust Unified Physics & Design Kernel Built to Be Driven by AI Agents
doodlestein · x · 2026-09-11
Developer doodlestein wants to turbo-charge FrankenSim with a fleet of AI agents: a memory-safe, pure-Rust kernel unifying geometry, physics, optimization, and rendering, designed so agents can design, test, and optimize real-world systems.
Key facts:
- v0.0.1 ships 100+ crates (1,040 files, 171K lines of Rust, 14,580+ inline tests) in a single acyclic workspace with no third-party deps
- Seven layers from L0 hardware execution (≤200µs latency-to-cancel) through numerical foundations, a geometry kernel (Region/Chart abstraction, SDF/mesh/F-rep/NURBS/voxel), a structure-preserving adjoint-native physics kernel, certified optimization, rendering, up to an orchestration/ledger layer
- Derivatives, error bounds, budgets, provenance, and cancellation ride inside values, so simulations return proofs, not just numbers
- Companion projects include FrankenTorch and FrankenNumpy
