Anvil Sim
A project folder is the interface.
The product loop is concrete: source geometry, setup files, validation, run contract, result image, QoIs, blockers, and reviewer export live in the same .anvilproj bundle.
Agentic engineering simulation, project-first
Lightbulb buildsAnvil Sim.
Anvil Sim is an agentic engineering simulation workbench: start with STEP/STP source geometry, organize the study in a readable .anvilproj folder, let agents prepare setup files, and let Anvil validate, run or replay, visualize, and export.
Rove Dexterity Lab is the future hardware track. Enterprise OS is the internal execution system. The working product today is Anvil Sim.
Product 01
Anvil Sim
Founder Preview
Agentic engineering simulation: import STEP/STP, build a readable .anvilproj, validate setup, run or replay, and export a reviewer packet.
Product 02
Rove Dexterity Lab
Prototype track
A table-scale robot bench for useful manipulation: reach, grasp, sort, press, and measure.
Flagship labs
Anvil is the product. Rove is the next lab.
Anvil Sim is where the current product value lives: engineering files in, validated setup, visual and analytical results out. Rove stays honest as a hardware research track until the bench is ready.

Rove Dexterity Lab
A table-scale robot before a bigger body.
- Bench-sized manipulator before full-body robotics
- Gripper and claw experiments for small-object handling
- Tasks designed so success can be measured, not narrated
- Simulation used where it shortens the path to real hardware
Proof wall
Show the simulation before the prose.
Anvil has app-visible routes across structural, thermal, CFD, electronics, and coupled screening workflows. Final approval claims stay blocked until the evidence earns them.
Simulation workbench
Visual-first Anvil workflow
Project-backed visuals, QoIs, blockers, and export state in one review surface.
Benchmark route
Modal / FRF inspection
A checked route where the field view and analytical numbers stay together.
Thermal route
Thermal transient
Thermal field output used to keep setup assumptions and result limits visible.
Build queue
The build order is simple.
Now
Make Anvil useful from real project files
Make the first path reliable: STEP/STP assets, .anvilproj bundle, setup validator, run or replay, visual result, QoIs, blockers, and reviewer export.
Next
Build the Rove bench
Start with desk and shelf tasks: move small objects, press simple controls, recover from mistakes, and record what actually happened.
Always
Keep the internal OS in service of the product
Use Enterprise OS to plan, review, and verify the work. It should make Anvil clearer and more reliable, not become the thing customers have to understand.
Internal engine
Enterprise OS keeps the work from drifting.
It handles research intake, memory, skills, evaluation, agent loops, and shipping discipline. Its job is to turn raw intelligence into product artifacts: schemas, tests, solvers, visuals, benchmarks, and release gates.

Ray Qin
Founder & CEO
Dual ME and CS background. Senior software engineer building Anvil Sim as the first serious product: agentic engineering simulation for STEP/STP projects, readable .anvilproj bundles, checked runs, visual fields, QoIs, blockers, and reviewer exports.
Rove Dexterity Lab and Enterprise OS matter because they compound the same thesis: raw intelligence becomes useful when it is organized by files, schemas, tests, measurements, and working interfaces.
