README

sim-plugin-flotherm

[Simcenter Flotherm](https://plm.sw.siemens.com/en-US/simcenter/mechanical-simulation/flotherm/) driver for [sim-cli](https://github.com/svd-ai-lab/sim-cli), distributed as an out-of-tree plugin via Python `entry_points`.

This plugin does not bundle Flotherm, vendor binaries, or vendor SDKs. See [LICENSE-NOTICE.md](LICENSE-NOTICE.md).

The driver is Windows-only — Flotherm itself only ships on Windows, and the driver uses `pywinauto` GUI automation (Flotherm has no headless batch API for first-time project setup).

Install

For agent projects, install sim-cli-core and the Flotherm plugin in the project environment:

uv init  # only if this is not already a uv project
uv add sim-cli-core "git+https://github.com/svd-ai-lab/sim-plugin-flotherm@main"
uv run sim plugin sync-skills --target .agents/skills --copy
uv run sim check flotherm
uv run sim plugin doctor flotherm --deep

For Claude Code, sync the bundled skill to `.claude/skills` instead:

uv run sim plugin sync-skills --target .claude/skills --copy

`uv run sim ...` runs sim from this project environment, so it sees this project's plugins. Without uv, create and activate a venv, then install `sim-cli-core` plus this plugin with `python -m pip`.

How it works

The plugin registers via two entry-point groups:

[project.entry-points."sim.drivers"]
flotherm = "sim_plugin_flotherm:FlothermDriver"

[project.entry-points."sim.skills"]
flotherm = "sim_plugin_flotherm:skills_dir"

`sim.drivers` exposes the driver class; `sim.skills` exposes a directory of skill files bundled inside the wheel (workflows, FloSCRIPT XSD schemas, version-specific quirks).

Develop

git clone https://github.com/svd-ai-lab/sim-plugin-flotherm
cd sim-plugin-flotherm
uv sync --extra test
uv run --extra test python -m pytest --basetemp=.tmp/pytest-basetemp

Note: Tier-4 (real Flotherm) tests require Windows and a local Flotherm installation. Tier-1 / Tier-
