Workflow Patterns

Workflow patterns coordinate multiple operations within a single engineering tool session. Because the model is transferred and opened only once, all steps share the same session state — changes from one step are immediately visible to the next, and no intermediate upload or download is needed.

These patterns are implemented as module functions built into supported integrations. The agent handles session management, step sequencing, and output aggregation internally.

Pattern	Module function	Purpose
Sequential pipeline	@istari:batch_execute	Chain operations in order; each step sees the previous step's changes
Parameter study	@istari:variable_sweep	Run the same operation across a set of variable values

These patterns can be composed — for example, a parameter study where each iteration runs a sequential pipeline.
