## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
### What is AtomizerField?
|
||||
|
||||
AtomizerField is a neural network system that learns to predict FEA simulation results. Instead of solving physics equations numerically (expensive), it uses trained neural networks to predict results instantly.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Traditional Workflow:
|
||||
Design → NX Model → Mesh → Solve (30 min) → Results → Objective
|
||||
|
||||
Neural Workflow:
|
||||
Design → Neural Network (4.5 ms) → Results → Objective
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Neural Model Types
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Field Predictor GNN
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Predicts complete displacement and stress fields across the entire mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Input Features (12D per node):
|
||||
├── Node coordinates (x, y, z)
|
||||
├── Material properties (E, nu, rho)
|
||||
├── Boundary conditions (fixed/free per DOF)
|
||||
└── Load information (force magnitude, direction)
|
||||
|
||||
Edge Features (5D per edge):
|
||||
├── Edge length
|
||||
├── Direction vector (3D)
|
||||
└── Element type indicator
|
||||
|
||||
GNN Layers (6 message passing):
|
||||
├── MeshGraphConv (custom for FEA topology)
|
||||
├── Layer normalization
|
||||
├── ReLU activation
|
||||
└── Dropout (0.1)

|
||||
└── Von Mises stress (1 value)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters**: 718,221 trainable parameters
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case**: When you need full field predictions (stress distribution, deformation shape).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Parametric Predictor GNN (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Predicts all 4 optimization objectives directly from design parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Design Parameters (4D):
|
||||
├── beam_half_core_thickness
|
||||
├── beam_face_thickness
|
||||
├── holes_diameter
|
||||
└── hole_count
|
||||
|
||||
Design Encoder (MLP):
|
||||
├── Linear(4 → 64)
|
||||
├── ReLU
|
||||
├── Linear(64 → 128)
|
||||
└── ReLU
|
||||
|
||||
GNN Backbone (4 layers):
|
||||
├── Design-conditioned message passing
|
||||
├── Hidden channels: 128
|
||||
└── Global pooling: Mean + Max
|
||||
|
||||
Scalar Heads (MLP):
|
||||
├── Linear(384 → 128)
|
||||
├── ReLU
|
||||
├── Linear(128 → 64)
|
||||
├── ReLU
|
||||
└── Linear(64 → 4)
|
||||
|
||||
Output (4 objectives):
|
||||
├── mass (grams)
|
||||
├── frequency (Hz)
|
||||
├── max_displacement (mm)
|
||||
└── max_stress (MPa)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters**: ~500,000 trainable parameters
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case**: Direct optimization objective prediction (fastest option).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Ensemble Models
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Uncertainty quantification through multiple model predictions.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works**:
|
||||
1. Train 3-5 models with different random seeds
|
||||
2. At inference, run all models
|
||||
3. Use mean for prediction, std for uncertainty
|
||||
4. High uncertainty → trigger FEA validation
|
||||

||||
## Architecture Deep Dive
|
||||
|
||||
### Graph Construction from FEA Mesh
|
||||
|
||||
The neural network treats the FEA mesh as a graph:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
FEA Mesh → Neural Graph
|
||||
─────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
Nodes (grid points) → Graph nodes
|
||||
Elements (CTETRA, CQUAD) → Graph edges
|
||||
Node properties → Node features
|
||||
Element connectivity → Edge connections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Message Passing
|
||||
|
||||
The GNN learns physics through message passing:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Simplified message passing
|
||||
for layer in gnn_layers:
|
||||
# Aggregate neighbor information
|
||||
messages = aggregate(
|
||||
node_features,
|
||||
edge_features,
|
||||
adjacency
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Update node features
|
||||
node_features = update(
|
||||
node_features,
|
||||
messages
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is analogous to how FEA distributes forces through elements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Conditioning (Parametric GNN)
|
||||
|
||||
The parametric model conditions the GNN on design parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Design parameters are encoded
|
||||
design_encoding = design_encoder(design_params) # [batch, 128]
|
||||
|
||||
# Broadcast to all nodes
|
||||
node_features = node_features + design_encoding.unsqueeze(1)
|
||||
|
||||
# GNN processes with design context
|
||||
for layer in gnn_layers:
|
||||
node_features = layer(node_features, edge_index, edge_attr)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Training Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Collect Training Data
|
||||
|
||||
Run optimization with training data export:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In workflow_config.json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"training_data_export": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"export_dir": "atomizer_field_training_data/my_study"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output structure:
|
||||
```
|
||||
atomizer_field_training_data/my_study/
|
||||
├── trial_0001/
|
||||
│ ├── input/model.bdf # Nastran input
|
||||
│ ├── output/model.op2 # Binary results
|
||||
│ └── metadata.json # Design params + objectives
|
||||
├── trial_0002/
|
||||
│ └── ...
|
||||
└── study_summary.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Parse to Neural Format
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd atomizer-field
|
||||
python batch_parser.py ../atomizer_field_training_data/my_study
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates HDF5 + JSON files:
|
||||
```
|
||||
trial_0001/
|
||||
├── neural_field_data.json # Metadata, structure
|
||||
└── neural_field_data.h5 # Mesh coordinates, field results
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Train Model
|
||||
|
||||
**Field Predictor**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python train.py \
|
||||
--train_dir ../training_data/parsed \
|
||||
--epochs 200 \
|
||||
--model FieldPredictorGNN \
|
||||
--hidden_channels 128 \
|
||||
--num_layers 6 \
|
||||
--physics_loss_weight 0.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parametric Predictor** (recommended):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||

|
||||
--train_dir ../training_data/parsed \
|
||||
--val_dir ../validation_data/parsed \
|
||||
--epochs 200 \
|
||||
--hidden_channels 128 \
|
||||
--num_layers 4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Validate
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python validate.py --checkpoint runs/my_model/checkpoint_best.pt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected output:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Validation Results:
|
||||
├── Mean Absolute Error: 2.3% (mass), 1.8% (frequency)
|
||||
├── R² Score: 0.987
|
||||
├── Inference Time: 4.5ms ± 0.8ms
|
||||
└── Physics Violations: 0.2%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Deploy
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In workflow_config.json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"neural_surrogate": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"model_checkpoint": "atomizer-field/runs/my_model/checkpoint_best.pt",
|
||||
"confidence_threshold": 0.85
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Layer
|
||||
|
||||
### NeuralSurrogate Class
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from optimization_engine.neural_surrogate import NeuralSurrogate
|
||||
|
||||
# Load trained model
|
||||
surrogate = NeuralSurrogate(
|
||||
model_path="atomizer-field/runs/model/checkpoint_best.pt",
|
||||
device="cuda",
|
||||
confidence_threshold=0.85
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Predict
|
||||
results, confidence, used_nn = surrogate.predict(
|
||||
design_variables={"thickness": 5.0, "width": 10.0},
|
||||
bdf_template="model.bdf"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if used_nn:
|
||||
print(f"Predicted with {confidence:.1%} confidence")
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print("Fell back to FEA (low confidence)")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ParametricSurrogate Class (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from optimization_engine.neural_surrogate import create_parametric_surrogate_for_study
|
||||
|
||||
# Auto-detect and load
|
||||
surrogate = create_parametric_surrogate_for_study()
|
||||
|
||||
# Predict all 4 objectives
|
||||
results = surrogate.predict({
|
||||
"beam_half_core_thickness": 7.0,
|
||||
"beam_face_thickness": 2.5,
|
||||
"holes_diameter": 35.0,
|
||||
"hole_count": 10.0
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Mass: {results['mass']:.2f} g")
|
||||
print(f"Frequency: {results['frequency']:.2f} Hz")
|
||||
print(f"Max displacement: {results['max_displacement']:.6f} mm")
|
||||
print(f"Max stress: {results['max_stress']:.2f} MPa")
|
||||
print(f"Inference time: {results['inference_time_ms']:.2f} ms")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### HybridOptimizer Class
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from optimization_engine.neural_surrogate import create_hybrid_optimizer_from_config
|
||||
|
||||
# Smart FEA/NN switching
|
||||
hybrid = create_hybrid_optimizer_from_config(config_path)
|
||||
|
||||
for trial in range(1000):
|
||||
if hybrid.should_use_nn(trial):
|
||||
result = hybrid.predict_with_nn(design_vars)
|
||||
else:
|
||||
result = hybrid.run_fea(design_vars)
|
||||
hybrid.add_training_sample(design_vars, result)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Loss Functions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. MSE Loss (Standard)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
loss = mean_squared_error(predicted, target)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Equal weighting of all outputs. Simple but effective.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Relative Loss
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
loss = mean(|predicted - target| / |target|)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Better for multi-scale outputs (stress in MPa, displacement in mm).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Physics-Informed Loss
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
loss = mse_loss + lambda_physics * physics_loss
|
||||
|
||||
physics_loss = (
|
||||
equilibrium_violation + # F = ma
|
||||
constitutive_violation + # σ = Eε
|
||||
boundary_condition_violation # u = 0 at supports
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enforces physical laws during training. Improves generalization.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Max Error Loss
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
loss = max(|predicted - target|)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Penalizes worst predictions. Critical for safety-critical applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Each
|
||||
|
||||
| Loss Function | Use Case |
|
||||
|--------------|----------|
|
||||
| MSE | General training, balanced errors |
|
||||
| Relative | Multi-scale outputs |
|
||||
| Physics | Better generalization, extrapolation |
|
||||
| Max Error | Safety-critical, avoid outliers |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Uncertainty Quantification
|
||||
|
||||
### Ensemble Method
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from atomizer_field.neural_models.uncertainty import EnsemblePredictor
|
||||
|
||||
# Load 5 models
|
||||
ensemble = EnsemblePredictor([
|
||||
"model_fold_1.pt",
|
||||
"model_fold_2.pt",
|
||||
"model_fold_3.pt",
|
||||
"model_fold_4.pt",
|
||||
"model_fold_5.pt"
|
||||
])
|
||||
|
||||
# Predict with uncertainty
|
||||
mean_pred, std_pred = ensemble.predict_with_uncertainty(design_vars)
|
||||
confidence = 1.0 / (1.0 + std_pred / mean_pred)
|
||||
|
||||
if confidence < 0.85:
|
||||
# Trigger FEA validation
|
||||
fea_result = run_fea(design_vars)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Monte Carlo Dropout
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Enable dropout at inference
|
||||
model.train() # Keeps dropout active
|
||||
|
||||
predictions = []
|
||||
for _ in range(10):
|
||||
pred = model(input_data)
|
||||
predictions.append(pred)
|
||||
|
||||
mean_pred = np.mean(predictions)
|
||||
std_pred = np.std(predictions)
|
||||
```
