Solver Benchmark
When to Use This Skill
Use solver benchmarking when:
- Validating solver setups - Confirm all solvers produce consistent results
- Cross-validating results - Compare different solver outputs for the same hull
- Identifying solver quirks - Find solver-specific behaviors or numerical differences
- Quality assurance - Verify analysis methodology across tools
- Reporting - Generate comparison reports for documentation
Quick Start
# Run 3-way benchmark on Unit Box (validation case)
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
specs/modules/benchmark/unit_box_spec.yml
# Dry run (generate files, skip solver execution)
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
specs/modules/benchmark/unit_box_spec.yml --dry-run
# Run specific solvers only
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
spec.yml --solvers orcawave,aqwa
# Custom output directory
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
spec.yml -o results/my_benchmark
