Mechanical Engineer: the all-in-one AI plugin

Skills for mechanical engineers 8

• design optimization assistantRuns parametric studies and trade-offs to cut weight or cost, like trimming a bracket from 1.2 kg to 0.9 kg.
• failure analysis assistantTurns failure reports into root causes and fixes, like tracing repeated bearing seizures to a lubrication gap.
• prototype testing analysis assistantAnalyzes prototype test data for trends and anomalies, like showing revision B holds torque 12 percent better.
• simulation model development assistantBuilds, calibrates, and validates simulation models, like matching a thermal model to measured enclosure temperatures within 3 C.
• supplier research and analysis assistantVets suppliers on cost, capability, and risk, like shortlisting three CNC shops that hold ISO 9001.

Plus a start-here assistant, the prompt library and the app builder, and for members the daily brief.

Apps you can build with AI 3

• Physical prototype test pooling networkShare prototype test capacity with other teams so you can afford more physical validation before release. Demo included.
• Product supportability design rehearsalRehearse how design choices today raise or lower service and spare parts cost later. Demo included.
• Team project coordination and communication workbenchKeep project decisions, test results, and stakeholder updates in one workspace you own. Demo included.

AI agents 12

In the download. An agent runs a whole recurring task for you, step by step, and asks you before anything important. Ask your AI: "Run the Design for Manufacturing Review Agent". Each one also has a guided set-up with sample data on its page.

• Design for Manufacturing Review AgentA part design that passes the manufacturing rules for its process and is ready for supplier quotes
• Safety and Compliance Test Plan AgentA test and certification plan that fits the launch date and is booked and tracked until all results pass
• Bill of Materials Cost Rollup AgentA current unit cost at each volume, compared with the target, with options if it is over
• Drawing Revision and BOM Mismatch AgentDrawings, BOM and models agree on revision, part number and quantity for each assembly before release.
• Tolerance Stack-Up Review AgentConfirm every critical fit passes before the drawings are released.
• Bill of Materials Cleanup AgentRelease a BOM that matches the CAD model on part numbers, revisions and quantities.
• Fatigue and Wear Life Check AgentShow that every moving part meets the required life with the chosen safety factor.
• Supplier First Article Inspection Review AgentMake sure the first article is fully checked against the drawing before the build proceeds.
• Hardware Test Plan and Results AgentA repeatable test plan with recorded, comparable results for every build
• Packaging Prototype Test Round AgentA pack design that passes the full test plan with a clear record of each round
• Test Plan Coverage AgentEvery requirement and high-risk failure mode covered by a planned test
• Test Data Anomaly Analysis AgentTrustworthy test results with problems spotted the same day

Connections (MCP servers) 3

A guide in the download. A connection lets your AI work in an app you already use. You add only the ones you use: ask your AI "Which apps can you connect to?" and follow the steps on each connection's page.

• Everything Search MCP serverLets your AI search the files and folders on your own computer by name, size, or date.
• Gnomon MCP serverGives your AI a reliable calculator and calendar so dates, math, and unit conversions stop being guesses.
• Grounding MCP serverSearch your own PDFs, EPUBs and Word files locally and get answers with page and section citations.
