su2-mcp

su2-mcp exposes SU2 session lifecycle, config editing, solver execution, and results inspection through an MCP server.

Features

  • Session lifecycle management with per-session working directories.

  • Config helpers for reading, parsing, and updating SU2 .cfg files.

  • Mesh upload and automatic MESH_FILENAME synchronization.

  • Optional STEP -> SU2 mesh conversion via gmsh (generate_mesh_from_step).

  • Solver wrappers for SU2_CFD and SU2_DEF with timeout/missing-binary handling.

  • Result-file listing, base64 download, history CSV parsing, and surface sampling.

  • Open-ended mesh refinement (2026-06-21): the CPACS adapter exposes optional surface_density and farfield_factor overrides on top of the three named presets (laptop/workstation/industry), and reports the actual mesh_n_elem cell count plus a cauchy_triggered flag so callers can build a converge-until-plateau loop (see the SKILL_OPEN_ENDED_MESH.md skill and scripts/run_converged_su2.py in cmudrc/agent-mcp).

Checking SU2 binaries

The MCP tool get_su2_status reports availability of common SU2 binaries (SU2_CFD, SU2_CFD_MPI, SU2_DEF).

Optional SU2 dependency extra

pip install .[su2]

System dependencies

The Python package is pure Python, but some tools rely on external executables:

  • run_su2_solver / generate_deformed_mesh: requires SU2 binaries on PATH

  • generate_mesh_from_step: requires gmsh on PATH

Shared-CPACS Integration

This MCP includes a CPACS adapter (src/su2_mcp/cpacs_adapter.py) that bridges SU2 to the shared-CPACS aircraft analysis pipeline.

What it does

The adapter reads reference geometry and flight conditions from CPACS, meshes STEP files via Gmsh, runs real SU2_CFD Euler simulations, parses CL/CD from history.csv, and writes aerodynamic results into //analysisResults/aero.

Direction

XPath

Reads

.//vehicles/aircraft/model/reference, .//analysisResults/tigl

Writes

.//vehicles/aircraft/model/analysisResults/aero (CL, CD, L/D, solver info)

Records

one header/updates/update entry per write: what was written, su2-mcp <version>, UTC timestamp, running version, cpacsVersion
