Summary:
I propose adding an AI-driven Initialization Assistant in Ansys Fluent to automatically select or recommend the best initialization method based on case physics, mesh type, and solver settings.

Problem:
Choosing between Standard, Hybrid, FMG, Patching, or using a previous solution is often unclear—even for experienced users. Each method can significantly impact convergence and stability, but Fluent currently offers "Recommendations" that are few and far between.

Proposed Solution:
Integrate an AI assistant that:
1. Analyzes the setup (flow regime, compressibility, mesh type, solver, boundary conditions)
2. Suggests or applies the most suitable initialization method (e.g., FMG for compressible flows)
3. Provides brief justifications for the choice (optional)
4. Learns from past user preferences and performance
5. Allows manual override at any time

Benefits:
1. Faster convergence with fewer failed runs
2. Easier learning curve, especially for new users
3. Smarter defaults aligned with physics, not just generality
4. Less reliance on trial-and-error or tribal knowledge
