ChronoLLM: A Framework for Customizing Large Language Model for Digital Twins generalization based on PyChrono

2025-01-07

AI Summary

Current digital twin applications in scientific and engineering simulation suffer from labor-intensive, error-prone manual scripting of dynamical models, resulting in low modeling efficiency. To address this, this paper proposes a novel AI-driven modeling paradigm that enables end-to-end collaboration between large language models (LLMs) and the PyChrono multiphysics simulation engine. Specifically, we domain-fine-tune the Llama model, design physics-aware prompt engineering, and establish a closed-loop framework integrating simulation interfaces and automated code validation. This is the first work to enable LLMs to semantically understand rigid-body dynamics and generate executable simulation scripts. Experimental results demonstrate a 3.2× speedup in simulation script generation and a 91.3% code accuracy rate, significantly reducing the modeling and verification cycle for multibody systems. Our approach provides a scalable, AI-augmented pathway for digital twin simulation.
