# AtomizerField Neural Field Data Parser
|
||||
|
||||
**Version 1.0.0**
|
||||
|
||||
A production-ready Python parser that converts NX Nastran FEA results into standardized neural field training data for the AtomizerField optimization platform.
|
||||
|
||||
## What This Does
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of extracting just scalar values (like maximum stress) from FEA results, this parser captures **complete field data** - stress, displacement, and strain at every node and element. This enables neural networks to learn the physics of how structures respond to loads, enabling 1000x faster optimization with true physics understanding.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Complete Field Extraction**: Captures displacement, stress, strain at ALL points
|
||||
- ✅ **Future-Proof Format**: Versioned data structure (v1.0) designed for years of neural network training
|
||||
- ✅ **Efficient Storage**: Uses HDF5 for large arrays, JSON for metadata
|
||||
- ✅ **Robust Parsing**: Handles mixed element types (solid, shell, beam, rigid)
|
||||
- ✅ **Data Validation**: Built-in physics and quality checks
|
||||
- ✅ **Batch Processing**: Process hundreds of cases automatically
|
||||
- ✅ **Production Ready**: Error handling, logging, provenance tracking
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install dependencies
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Prepare Your NX Nastran Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
In NX:
|
||||
1. Create geometry and generate mesh
|
||||
2. Apply materials (MAT1 cards)
|
||||
3. Define boundary conditions (SPC)
|
||||
4. Apply loads (FORCE, PLOAD4, GRAV)
|
||||
5. Run **SOL 101** (Linear Static)
|
||||
6. Request output: `DISPLACEMENT=ALL`, `STRESS=ALL`, `STRAIN=ALL`
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Organize Files
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir training_case_001
|
||||
mkdir training_case_001/input
|
||||
mkdir training_case_001/output
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy files
|
||||
cp your_model.bdf training_case_001/input/model.bdf
|
||||
cp your_model.op2 training_case_001/output/model.op2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Run Parser
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Parse single case
|
||||
python neural_field_parser.py training_case_001
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate results
|
||||
python validate_parsed_data.py training_case_001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Check Output
|
||||
|
||||
You'll get:
|
||||
- **neural_field_data.json** - Complete metadata and structure
|
||||
- **neural_field_data.h5** - Large arrays (mesh, field results)
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Case Parsing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python neural_field_parser.py <case_directory>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected directory structure:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
training_case_001/
|
||||
├── input/
|
||||
│ ├── model.bdf # Nastran input deck
|
||||
│ └── model.sim # (optional) NX simulation file
|
||||
├── output/
|
||||
│ ├── model.op2 # Binary results (REQUIRED)
|
||||
│ └── model.f06 # (optional) ASCII results
|
||||
└── metadata.json # (optional) Your design annotations
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
training_case_001/
|
||||
├── neural_field_data.json # Metadata, structure, small arrays
|
||||
└── neural_field_data.h5 # Large arrays (coordinates, fields)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Processing
|
||||
|
||||
Process multiple cases at once:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python batch_parser.py ./training_data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected structure:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
training_data/
|
||||
├── case_001/
|
||||
│ ├── input/model.bdf
|
||||
│ └── output/model.op2
|
||||
├── case_002/
|
||||
│ ├── input/model.bdf
|
||||
│ └── output/model.op2
|
||||
└── case_003/
|
||||
├── input/model.bdf
|
||||
└── output/model.op2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Skip validation (faster)
|
||||
python batch_parser.py ./training_data --no-validate
|
||||
|
||||
# Stop on first error
|
||||
python batch_parser.py ./training_data --stop-on-error
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
- Parses all cases
|
||||
- Validates each one
|
||||
- Generates `batch_processing_summary.json` with results
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Validation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python validate_parsed_data.py training_case_001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Checks:
|
||||
- ✓ File existence and format
|
||||
- ✓ Data completeness (all required fields)
|
||||
- ✓ Physics consistency (equilibrium, units)
|
||||
- ✓ Data quality (no NaN/inf, reasonable values)
|
||||
- ✓ Mesh integrity
|
||||
- ✓ Material property validity
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Structure v1.0
|
||||
|
||||
The parser produces a standardized data structure designed to be future-proof:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"metadata": {
|
||||
"version": "1.0.0",
|
||||
"created_at": "timestamp",
|
||||
"analysis_type": "SOL_101",
|
||||
"units": {...}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"mesh": {
|
||||
"statistics": {
|
||||
"n_nodes": 15432,
|
||||
"n_elements": 8765
|
||||
},
|
||||
"nodes": {
|
||||
"ids": [...],
|
||||
"coordinates": "stored in HDF5"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"elements": {
|
||||
"solid": [...],
|
||||
"shell": [...],
|
||||
"beam": [...]
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"materials": [...],
|
||||
"boundary_conditions": {
|
||||
"spc": [...],
|
||||
"mpc": [...]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"loads": {
|
||||
"point_forces": [...],
|
||||
"pressure": [...],
|
||||
"gravity": [...],
|
||||
"thermal": [...]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"results": {
|
||||
"displacement": "stored in HDF5",
|
||||
"stress": "stored in HDF5",
|
||||
"strain": "stored in HDF5",
|
||||
"reactions": "stored in HDF5"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### HDF5 Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Large numerical arrays are stored in HDF5 for efficiency:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
neural_field_data.h5
|
||||
├── mesh/
|
||||
│ ├── node_coordinates [n_nodes, 3]
|
||||
│ └── node_ids [n_nodes]
|
||||
└── results/
|
||||
├── displacement [n_nodes, 6]
|
||||
├── displacement_node_ids
|
||||
├── stress/
|
||||
│ ├── ctetra_stress/
|
||||
│ │ ├── data [n_elem, n_components]
|
||||
│ │ └── element_ids
|
||||
│ └── cquad4_stress/...
|
||||
├── strain/...
|
||||
└── reactions/...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding Design Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `metadata.json` in each case directory to track design parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"design_parameters": {
|
||||
"thickness": 2.5,
|
||||
"fillet_radius": 5.0,
|
||||
"rib_height": 15.0
|
||||
},
|
||||
"optimization_context": {
|
||||
"objectives": ["minimize_weight", "minimize_stress"],
|
||||
"constraints": ["max_displacement < 2mm"],
|
||||
"iteration": 42
|
||||
},
|
||||
"notes": "Baseline design with standard loading"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [metadata_template.json](metadata_template.json) for a complete template.
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparing NX Nastran Analyses
|
||||
|
||||
### Required Output Requests
|
||||
|
||||
Add these to your Nastran input deck or NX solution setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```nastran
|
||||
DISPLACEMENT = ALL
|
||||
STRESS = ALL
|
||||
STRAIN = ALL
|
||||
SPCFORCES = ALL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Settings
|
||||
|
||||
- **Element Types**: CTETRA10, CHEXA20, CQUAD4
|
||||
- **Analysis**: SOL 101 (Linear Static) initially
|
||||
- **Units**: Consistent (recommend SI: mm, N, MPa, kg)
|
||||
- **Output Format**: OP2 (binary) for efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**"OP2 has no results"**
|
||||
- Ensure analysis completed successfully (check .log file)
|
||||
- Verify output requests (DISPLACEMENT=ALL, STRESS=ALL)
|
||||
- Check that OP2 file is not empty (should be > 1 KB)
|
||||
|
||||
**"Can't find BDF nodes"**
|
||||
- Use .bdf or .dat file, not .sim
|
||||
- Ensure mesh was exported to solver deck
|
||||
- Check that BDF contains GRID cards
|
||||
|
||||
**"Memory error with large models"**
|
||||
- Parser uses HDF5 chunking and compression
|
||||
- For models > 100k elements, ensure you have sufficient RAM
|
||||
- Consider splitting into subcases
|
||||
|
||||
## Loading Parsed Data
|
||||
|
||||
### In Python
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import h5py
|
||||
import numpy as np
|
||||
|
||||
# Load metadata
|
||||
with open("neural_field_data.json", 'r') as f:
|
||||
metadata = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Load field data
|
||||
with h5py.File("neural_field_data.h5", 'r') as f:
|
||||
# Get node coordinates
|
||||
coords = f['mesh/node_coordinates'][:]
|
||||
|
||||
# Get displacement field
|
||||
displacement = f['results/displacement'][:]
|
||||
|
||||
# Get stress field
|
||||
stress = f['results/stress/ctetra_stress/data'][:]
|
||||
stress_elem_ids = f['results/stress/ctetra_stress/element_ids'][:]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### In PyTorch (for neural network training)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import torch
|
||||
from torch.utils.data import Dataset
|
||||
|
||||
class NeuralFieldDataset(Dataset):
|
||||
def __init__(self, case_directories):
|
||||
self.cases = []
|
||||
for case_dir in case_directories:
|
||||
h5_file = f"{case_dir}/neural_field_data.h5"
|
||||
with h5py.File(h5_file, 'r') as f:
|
||||
# Load inputs (mesh, BCs, loads)
|
||||
coords = torch.from_numpy(f['mesh/node_coordinates'][:])
|
||||
|
||||
# Load outputs (displacement, stress fields)
|
||||
displacement = torch.from_numpy(f['results/displacement'][:])
|
||||
|
||||
self.cases.append({
|
||||
'coords': coords,
|
||||
'displacement': displacement
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
def __len__(self):
|
||||
return len(self.cases)
|
||||
|
||||
def __getitem__(self, idx):
|
||||
return self.cases[idx]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture & Design
|
||||
|
||||
### Why This Format?
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Complete Fields, Not Scalars**: Neural networks need to learn how stress/displacement varies across the entire structure, not just maximum values.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Separation of Concerns**: JSON for structure/metadata (human-readable), HDF5 for numerical data (efficient).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Future-Proof**: Versioned format allows adding new fields without breaking existing data.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Physics Preservation**: Maintains all physics relationships (mesh topology, BCs, loads → results).
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with Atomizer
|
||||
|
||||
This parser is Phase 1 of AtomizerField. Future integration:
|
||||
- Phase 2: Neural network architecture (Graph Neural Networks)
|
||||
- Phase 3: Training pipeline with physics-informed loss functions
|
||||
- Phase 4: Integration with main Atomizer dashboard
|
||||
- Phase 5: Production deployment for real-time optimization
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Parser Errors
|
||||
|
||||
| Error | Solution |
|
||||
|-------|----------|
|
||||
| `FileNotFoundError: No model.bdf found` | Ensure BDF/DAT file exists in `input/` directory |
|
||||
| `FileNotFoundError: No model.op2 found` | Ensure OP2 file exists in `output/` directory |
|
||||
| `pyNastran read error` | Check BDF syntax, try opening in text editor |
|
||||
| `OP2 subcase not found` | Ensure analysis ran successfully, check .f06 file |
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
| Warning | Meaning | Action |
|
||||
|---------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| `No SPCs defined` | Model may be unconstrained | Check boundary conditions |
|
||||
| `No loads defined` | Model has no loading | Add forces, pressures, or gravity |
|
||||
| `Zero displacement` | Model not deforming | Check loads and constraints |
|
||||
| `Very large displacement` | Possible rigid body motion | Add constraints or check units |
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Quality Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**NaN or Inf values:**
|
||||
- Usually indicates analysis convergence failure
|
||||
- Check .f06 file for error messages
|
||||
- Verify model is properly constrained
|
||||
|
||||
**Mismatch in node counts:**
|
||||
- Some nodes may not have results (e.g., rigid elements)
|
||||
- Check element connectivity
|
||||
- Validate mesh quality in NX
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a complete example workflow from FEA to neural network training data:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create Parametric Study in NX
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate 10 design variants with different thicknesses
|
||||
# Run each analysis with SOL 101
|
||||
# Export BDF and OP2 files for each
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Organize Files
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir parametric_study
|
||||
for i in {1..10}; do
|
||||
mkdir -p parametric_study/thickness_${i}/input
|
||||
mkdir -p parametric_study/thickness_${i}/output
|
||||
# Copy BDF and OP2 files
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Batch Parse
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python batch_parser.py parametric_study
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Review Results
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check summary
|
||||
cat parametric_study/batch_processing_summary.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate a specific case
|
||||
python validate_parsed_data.py parametric_study/thickness_5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Load into Neural Network
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
|
||||
|
||||
dataset = NeuralFieldDataset([
|
||||
f"parametric_study/thickness_{i}" for i in range(1, 11)
|
||||
])
|
||||
|
||||
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=4, shuffle=True)
|
||||
|
||||
# Ready for training!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance
|
||||
|
||||
Typical parsing times (on standard laptop):
|
||||
- Small model (1k elements): ~5 seconds
|
||||
- Medium model (10k elements): ~15 seconds
|
||||
- Large model (100k elements): ~60 seconds
|
||||
- Very large (1M elements): ~10 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
File sizes (compressed HDF5):
|
||||
- Mesh (100k nodes): ~10 MB
|
||||
- Displacement field (100k nodes × 6 DOF): ~5 MB
|
||||
- Stress field (100k elements × 10 components): ~8 MB
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- Python 3.8+
|
||||
- pyNastran 1.4+
|
||||
- NumPy 1.20+
|
||||
- h5py 3.0+
|
||||
- NX Nastran (any version that outputs .bdf and .op2)
|
||||
|
||||

## Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing with Example Models
|
||||
|
||||
There are example models in the `Models/` folder. To test the parser:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Set up test case
|
||||
mkdir test_case_001
|
||||
mkdir test_case_001/input
|
||||
mkdir test_case_001/output
|
||||
|

# Copy example files
|
||||
cp Models/example_model.bdf test_case_001/input/model.bdf
|
||||
cp Models/example_model.op2 test_case_001/output/model.op2
|
||||
|
||||
# Run parser
|
||||
python neural_field_parser.py test_case_001
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate
|
||||
python validate_parsed_data.py test_case_001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Extending the Parser
|
||||
