Cosmon
Also known as: Nexus, Cosmon AI, Nexus Engineering OS
Agentic Engineering OS for mechanical and hardware engineering that automates CAD, simulation, and PLM workflows across tools, with local deployment so IP stays in your network.
Cosmon builds Nexus, an agentic AI Engineering OS for mechanical and hardware engineering that sits above individual CAD, simulation (CAE), and PLM tools and automates not just tasks within each silo but the transitions between them. Because the agent combines semantic understanding of requirements, geometric understanding of CAD, and physics understanding of solvers, it can run closed loop workflows that were previously impossible: a requirement change in SysML can autonomously trigger CAD updates, re run simulations under strict governance, and generate a traceable review package, all without human intervention until final sign off. Nexus translates natural language requirements in tools like Jama or Cameo into exact boundary conditions and pass or fail criteria, performs physics aware geometry cleanup for meshing without deleting critical structural features, and indexes the actual physics and geometry of files so engineers can query prior art conceptually (for example past thermal analyses of battery packs with a specific cooling geometry). It interprets PLM metadata so certification simulations only run on the correct released revision, and it optimizes the whole chain, balancing requirement margins, manufacturing constraints, and compute cost. Every AI decision is visible, traceable, and fully reversible and grounded in the customer's engineering sources of truth, engineers stay in control and grant permission for actions, and Nexus can run in the cloud or locally so proprietary engineering IP never leaves the customer's network.

Integrations
Integrates directly with the engineering toolchain: CAD (SolidWorks today, with CATIA, Inventor, Fusion 360, and Creo planned), CAE and solvers (for example Hypermesh, Ansys), PLM, and MBSE requirements tools like Jama and Cameo (SysML), navigating multi vendor APIs and offering custom build outs.

| Workflow OrchestrationAs an Engineering OS above individual tools, Nexus automates the transitions between silos and runs closed loop workflows: a requirement change in SysML autonomously triggers CAD updates, re runs simulations under governance, and generates a traceable review package until final sign off. | Full |
| Knowledge Grounding & RAGNexus combines semantic understanding of requirements, geometric understanding of CAD, and physics understanding of solvers, uses multimodal geometry technology, indexes the actual physics and geometry of files to retrieve prior art, and grounds every action in the customer's engineering sources of truth. | Full |
| Human Oversight & GuardrailsNexus keeps engineers in the loop and in control of important decisions, executes tasks only with the engineer's permission, defers to a final human sign off in autonomous change propagation, and keeps every AI decision reversible. | Full |
| Security, Identity & GovernanceProprietary designs stay confidential even on the cloud version, Nexus can run locally so engineering IP never leaves the customer's network, and a Controller layer enforces strict corporate governance and interprets PLM metadata so certification simulations only run on the correct released revision. Specific certifications were not retrieved. | Full |
| Observability & AuditabilityEvery AI decision stays visible, traceable, and fully reversible and is grounded in engineering sources of truth, and autonomous workflows produce a traceable review package for human sign off. | Full |
| Memory & State PersistenceNexus indexes the physics and geometry of past files so engineers can recall prior analyses and prior art conceptually, providing persistent institutional knowledge, but no explicit per agent working memory construct is documented. | Partial |
| Deployment & Data ResidencyNexus can run in the cloud with confidential designs or locally on the customer's existing infrastructure so engineering IP never leaves their servers and remains fully secure within their network, giving strong deployment and data residency control. | Full |
| Prebuilt Agents / Templates / PacksProvides prebuilt engineering capabilities (auto dimensioning and 2D drawing generation, smart sketch, mesh suggestion, boundary condition setup, report generation) and custom build outs, but not a broad user composable catalog of agents. | Partial |
| Triggers & Channel CoverageSupports event driven autonomous change propagation, where a detected requirement change triggers downstream CAD and simulation updates, but trigger and channel coverage is confined to the engineering toolchain rather than broad external channels. | Partial |
| Model Flexibility & RoutingNexus relies on its own multimodal geometry models trained on synthetic engineering problems and notes generic LLM based agents fall short. No customer selectable model or multi provider routing is documented. | Unable to verify |
| APIs / SDKs / MCP ExtensibilityNexus can be downloaded and integrated into existing toolchains and supports custom build outs, indicating integration flexibility, but no public API, SDK, or MCP surface for building on Cosmon is documented. | Partial |
| Testing, Debugging & OptimizationNexus handles analysis, validation, and issue detection, provides validated starting points for simulation, and performs holistic optimization across requirement margins, manufacturing constraints, and compute cost, though not as a general agent evaluation harness. | Partial |
| Browser / Computer-useNexus executes inside engineering tools through integrations and multi vendor APIs. No browser or GUI based computer use is documented as the mechanism. | Unable to verify |
Pricing
Subscription with multiple tiers plus custom build outs (B2B licenses). No public list pricing retrieved this session.
subscription tiers plus custom build-outs (B2B licenses)
Cost watchouts
Custom build outs for additional CAD/CAE/PLM integrations and local (on premise) deployments likely add to cost. Pricing scales with seats and the breadth of integrated engineering tools.
Variable cost rationale
Cost scales with seats, the number of integrated engineering tools, and any custom build outs or local deployments, though a subscription base caps the core fee.
