# Neural Workflow Tutorial
|
||||
|
||||
**End-to-End Guide: From FEA Data to Neural-Accelerated Optimization**
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial walks you through the complete workflow of setting up neural network acceleration for your optimization studies.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, ensure you have:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Atomizer installed and working
|
||||
- [ ] An NX Nastran model with parametric geometry
|
||||
- [ ] Python environment with PyTorch and PyTorch Geometric
|
||||
- [ ] GPU recommended (CUDA) but not required
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Neural Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install PyTorch (with CUDA support)
|
||||
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
|
||||
|
||||
# Install PyTorch Geometric
|
||||
pip install torch-geometric
|
||||
|
||||
# Install other dependencies
|
||||
pip install h5py pyNastran
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow consists of 5 phases:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Phase 1: Initial FEA Study → Collect Training Data
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 2: Parse Data → Convert BDF/OP2 to Neural Format
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 3: Train Model → Train GNN on Collected Data
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 4: Validate → Verify Model Accuracy
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 5: Deploy → Run Neural-Accelerated Optimization
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Investment**:
|
||||
- Phase 1: 4-8 hours (initial FEA runs)
|
||||
- Phase 2: 30 minutes (parsing)
|
||||
- Phase 3: 30-60 minutes (training)
|
||||
- Phase 4: 10 minutes (validation)
|
||||
- Phase 5: Minutes instead of hours!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Collect Training Data
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1.1: Configure Training Data Export
|
||||
|
||||
Edit your `workflow_config.json` to enable training data export:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"study_name": "uav_arm_optimization",
|
||||
|
||||
"design_variables": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "beam_half_core_thickness",
|
||||
"expression_name": "beam_half_core_thickness",
|
||||
"min": 5.0,
|
||||
"max": 15.0,
|
||||
"units": "mm"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "beam_face_thickness",
|
||||
"expression_name": "beam_face_thickness",
|
||||
"min": 1.0,
|
||||
"max": 5.0,
|
||||
"units": "mm"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "holes_diameter",
|
||||
"expression_name": "holes_diameter",
|
||||
"min": 20.0,
|
||||
"max": 50.0,
|
||||
"units": "mm"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "hole_count",
|
||||
"expression_name": "hole_count",
|
||||
"min": 5,
|
||||
"max": 15,
|
||||
"units": ""
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
|
||||
"objectives": [
|
||||
{"name": "mass", "direction": "minimize"},
|
||||
{"name": "frequency", "direction": "maximize"},
|
||||
{"name": "max_displacement", "direction": "minimize"},
|
||||
{"name": "max_stress", "direction": "minimize"}
|
||||
],
|
||||
|
||||
"training_data_export": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"export_dir": "atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm"
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
"optimization_settings": {
|
||||
"n_trials": 50,
|
||||
"sampler": "TPE"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1.2: Run Initial Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd studies/uav_arm_optimization
|
||||
python run_optimization.py --trials 50
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will:
|
||||
1. Run 50 FEA simulations
|
||||
2. Export each trial's BDF and OP2 files
|
||||
3. Save design parameters and objectives
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected output**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Trial 1/50: beam_half_core_thickness=10.2, beam_face_thickness=2.8...
|
||||
→ Exporting training data to atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm/trial_0001/
|
||||
Trial 2/50: beam_half_core_thickness=7.5, beam_face_thickness=3.1...
|
||||
→ Exporting training data to atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm/trial_0002/
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1.3: Verify Exported Data
|
||||
|
||||
Check the exported data structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected:
|
||||
```
|
||||
trial_0001/
|
||||
trial_0002/
|
||||
...
|
||||
trial_0050/
|
||||
study_summary.json
|
||||
README.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each trial folder contains:
|
||||
```
|
||||
trial_0001/
|
||||
├── input/
|
||||
│ └── model.bdf # Nastran input deck
|
||||
├── output/
|
||||
│ └── model.op2 # Binary results
|
||||
└── metadata.json # Design variables and objectives
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 2: Parse Data
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2.1: Navigate to AtomizerField
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd atomizer-field
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2.2: Parse All Cases
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python batch_parser.py ../atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What this does**:
|
||||
1. Reads each BDF file (mesh, materials, BCs, loads)
|
||||
2. Reads each OP2 file (displacement, stress, strain fields)
|
||||
3. Converts to HDF5 + JSON format
|
||||
4. Validates physics consistency
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected output**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Processing 50 cases...
|
||||
[1/50] trial_0001: ✓ Parsed successfully (2.3s)
|
||||
[2/50] trial_0002: ✓ Parsed successfully (2.1s)
|
||||
...
|
||||
[50/50] trial_0050: ✓ Parsed successfully (2.4s)
|
||||
|
||||
Summary:
|
||||
├── Successful: 50/50
|
||||
├── Failed: 0
|
||||
└── Total time: 115.2s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2.3: Validate Parsed Data
|
||||
|
||||
Run validation on a few cases:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python validate_parsed_data.py ../atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm/trial_0001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected output**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Validation Results for trial_0001:
|
||||
├── File Structure: ✓ Valid
|
||||
├── Mesh Quality: ✓ Valid (15,432 nodes, 8,765 elements)
|
||||
├── Material Properties: ✓ Valid (E=70 GPa, nu=0.33)
|
||||
├── Boundary Conditions: ✓ Valid (12 fixed nodes)
|
||||
├── Load Data: ✓ Valid (1 gravity load)
|
||||
├── Displacement Field: ✓ Valid (max: 0.042 mm)
|
||||
├── Stress Field: ✓ Valid (max: 125.3 MPa)
|
||||
└── Overall: ✓ VALID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 3: Train Model
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3.1: Split Data
|
||||
|
||||
Create train/validation split:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create directories
|
||||
mkdir -p ../atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm_train
|
||||
mkdir -p ../atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm_val
|
||||
|
||||
# Move 80% to train, 20% to validation
|
||||
# (You can write a script or do this manually)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3.2: Train Parametric Model
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python train_parametric.py \
|
||||
--train_dir ../atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm_train \
|
||||
--val_dir ../atomizer_field_training_data/uav_arm_val \
|
||||
--epochs 200 \
|
||||
--hidden_channels 128 \
|
||||
--num_layers 4 \
|
||||
--learning_rate 0.001 \
|
||||
--output_dir runs/my_uav_model
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What this does**:
|
||||
1. Loads parsed training data
|
||||
2. Builds design-conditioned GNN
|
||||
3. Trains with physics-informed loss
|
||||
4. Saves best checkpoint based on validation loss
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected output**:
|
||||
```

|
||||
### Step 3.3: Monitor Training (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If TensorBoard is installed:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tensorboard --logdir runs/my_uav_model/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open http://localhost:6006 to view:
|

### Step 4.2: Test on New Designs
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# test_model.py
|
||||
import torch
|
||||
from atomizer_field.neural_models.parametric_predictor import ParametricFieldPredictor
|
||||
|
||||
# Load model
|
||||
checkpoint = torch.load('runs/my_uav_model/checkpoint_best.pt')
|
||||
model = ParametricFieldPredictor(**checkpoint['config'])
|
||||
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])
|
||||
model.eval()
|
||||
|
||||
# Test prediction
|
||||
design = {
|
||||
'beam_half_core_thickness': 7.0,
|
||||
'beam_face_thickness': 2.5,
|
||||
'holes_diameter': 35.0,
|
||||
'hole_count': 10.0
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Convert to tensor
|
||||
design_tensor = torch.tensor([[
|
||||
design['beam_half_core_thickness'],
|
||||
design['beam_face_thickness'],
|
||||
design['holes_diameter'],
|
||||
design['hole_count']
|
||||
]])
|
||||
|
||||
# Predict
|
||||
with torch.no_grad():
|
||||
predictions = model(design_tensor)
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Mass: {predictions[0, 0]:.2f} g")
|
||||
print(f"Frequency: {predictions[0, 1]:.2f} Hz")
|
||||
print(f"Displacement: {predictions[0, 2]:.6f} mm")
|
||||
print(f"Stress: {predictions[0, 3]:.2f} MPa")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 5: Deploy Neural-Accelerated Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5.1: Update Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `workflow_config.json` to enable neural acceleration:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"study_name": "uav_arm_optimization_neural",
|
||||
|
||||
"neural_surrogate": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"model_checkpoint": "atomizer-field/runs/my_uav_model/checkpoint_best.pt",
|
||||
"confidence_threshold": 0.85,
|
||||
"device": "cuda"
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
"hybrid_optimization": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"exploration_trials": 20,
|
||||
"validation_frequency": 50
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
"optimization_settings": {
|
||||
"n_trials": 5000
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5.2: Run Neural-Accelerated Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python run_optimization.py --trials 5000 --use-neural
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected output**:

|
||||
### Step 5.3: Validate Best Designs
|
||||
|
||||
Run FEA validation on top designs:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# validate_best_designs.py
|
||||
from optimization_engine.runner import OptimizationRunner
|
||||
|
||||
runner = OptimizationRunner(config_path="workflow_config.json")
|
||||
|
||||
# Get top 10 designs from neural optimization
|
||||
top_designs = runner.get_best_trials(10)
|
||||
|
||||
print("Validating top 10 designs with FEA...")
|
||||
for i, design in enumerate(top_designs):
|
||||
# Run actual FEA
|
||||
fea_result = runner.run_fea_simulation(design.params)
|
||||
nn_result = design.values
|
||||
|
||||
# Compare
|
||||
mass_error = abs(fea_result['mass'] - nn_result['mass']) / fea_result['mass'] * 100
|
||||
freq_error = abs(fea_result['frequency'] - nn_result['frequency']) / fea_result['frequency'] * 100
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Design {i+1}: Mass error={mass_error:.1f}%, Freq error={freq_error:.1f}%")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Low confidence predictions**
|
||||
```
|
||||
WARNING: Neural confidence below threshold (65.3% < 85%)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Collect more diverse training data
|
||||
- Train for more epochs
|
||||
- Reduce confidence threshold
|
||||
- Check if design is outside training distribution
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Training loss not decreasing**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Epoch [100/200]: Train Loss: 0.3421 (same as epoch 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Reduce learning rate
|
||||
- Check data preprocessing
|
||||
- Increase hidden channels
|
||||
- Add more training data
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Large validation error**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Val MAE: 15.2% (expected < 5%)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Check for data leakage
|
||||
- Add regularization (dropout)
|
||||
- Use physics-informed loss
|
||||
- Collect more training data
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Collection
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Diverse sampling**: Use Latin Hypercube or Sobol sequences
|
||||
2. **Sufficient quantity**: Aim for 10-20x the number of design variables
|
||||
3. **Full range coverage**: Ensure designs span the entire design space
|
||||
4. **Quality control**: Validate all FEA results before training
|
||||
|
||||
### Training
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start simple**: Begin with smaller models, increase if needed
|
||||
2. **Use validation**: Always monitor validation loss
|
||||
3. **Early stopping**: Stop training when validation loss plateaus
|
||||
4. **Save checkpoints**: Keep intermediate models
|
||||
|
||||
### Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Conservative thresholds**: Start with high confidence (0.9)
|
||||
2. **Periodic validation**: Always validate with FEA periodically
|
||||
3. **Monitor drift**: Track prediction accuracy over time
|
||||
4. **Retrain**: Update model when drift is detected
