Could you build this?
No The core value is physics solvers, CAD, and 3D engineering analysis, which require deep domain expertise, validated numerical methods, and mature geometry kernels that AI-assisted coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a CAD/geometry kernel (or integration with one such as Open CASCADE), FEA/CFD or other physics solvers validated against known benchmarks, and a high-performance 3D viewer. Building it requires computational engineers, numerical methods experts, and graphics specialists, plus years of validation work before engineers would trust the results.
