🎯 Key Innovation: Complete Fields

Old Way (Traditional Surrogate Models)

# Only learns scalar values
max_stress = neural_network(thickness, rib_height, hole_diameter)
# Result: 450.2 MPa

# Problems:
❌ No spatial information
❌ Can't see WHERE stress occurs
❌ Can't guide design improvements
❌ Black box optimization

AtomizerField Way (Neural Field Learning)

# Learns COMPLETE field at every point
field_results = neural_network(mesh_graph)

displacement = field_results['displacement']  # [15,432 nodes × 6 DOF]
stress = field_results['stress']              # [15,432 nodes × 6 components]
von_mises = field_results['von_mises']        # [15,432 nodes]

# Now you know:
✅ Max stress: 450.2 MPa
✅ WHERE it occurs: Node 8,743 (near fillet)
✅ Stress distribution across entire structure
✅ Can intelligently add material where needed
✅ Physics-guided optimization!

🧠 The Neural Network Architecture

What You Built

AtomizerFieldModel (718,221 parameters)

INPUT:
├─ Nodes: [x, y, z, BC_mask(6), loads(3)] → 12 features per node
└─ Edges: [E, ν, ρ, G, α] → 5 features per edge (material)

PROCESSING:
├─ Node Encoder: 12 → 128 dimensions
├─ Edge Encoder: 5 → 64 dimensions
├─ Message Passing × 6 layers:
│  ├─ Forces propagate through mesh
│  ├─ Learns stiffness matrix behavior
│  └─ Respects element connectivity
│
├─ Displacement Decoder: 128 → 6 (ux, uy, uz, θx, θy, θz)
└─ Stress Predictor: displacement → stress tensor

OUTPUT:
├─ Displacement field at ALL nodes
├─ Stress field at ALL elements
└─ Von Mises stress everywhere

Why This Works:

FEA solves: K·u = f

• K = stiffness matrix (depends on mesh topology + materials)
• u = displacement
• f = forces

Our GNN learns this relationship:

• Mesh topology → Graph edges
• Materials → Edge features
• BCs & loads → Node features
• Message passing → Mimics K·u = f solving!

Result: Network learns physics, not just patterns!

🚀 How to Use (Step-by-Step)

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.8+ (you have Python 3.14)
2. NX Nastran (you have it)
3. GPU recommended for training (optional but faster)

Setup (One-Time)

# Navigate to project
cd c:\Users\antoi\Documents\Atomaste\Atomizer-Field

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv atomizer_env

# Activate
atomizer_env\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Workflow

Step 1: Generate FEA Data in NX

1. Create design in NX
2. Mesh (CTETRA, CHEXA, CQUAD4, etc.)
3. Apply materials (MAT1)
4. Apply BCs (SPC)
5. Apply loads (FORCE, PLOAD4)
6. Run SOL 101 (Linear Static)
7. Request: DISPLACEMENT=ALL, STRESS=ALL
8. Get files: model.bdf, model.op2

Step 2: Parse FEA Results

# Organize files
mkdir training_case_001
mkdir training_case_001/input
mkdir training_case_001/output
cp your_model.bdf training_case_001/input/model.bdf
cp your_model.op2 training_case_001/output/model.op2

# Parse
python neural_field_parser.py training_case_001

# Validate
python validate_parsed_data.py training_case_001

# For many cases:
python batch_parser.py ./all_your_cases

Output:

• neural_field_data.json - Metadata (200 KB)
• neural_field_data.h5 - Fields (3 MB)

Step 3: Train Neural Network

# Organize data
mkdir training_data
mkdir validation_data
# Move 80% of parsed cases to training_data/
# Move 20% of parsed cases to validation_data/

# Train
python train.py \
    --train_dir ./training_data \
    --val_dir ./validation_data \
    --epochs 100 \
    --batch_size 4 \
    --lr 0.001 \
    --loss_type physics

# Monitor (in another terminal)
tensorboard --logdir runs/tensorboard

Training takes: 2-24 hours depending on dataset size

Output:

• runs/checkpoint_best.pt - Best model
• runs/config.json - Configuration
• runs/tensorboard/ - Training logs

Step 4: Run Predictions

# Single prediction
python predict.py \
    --model runs/checkpoint_best.pt \
    --input new_design_case \
    --compare

# Batch prediction
python predict.py \
    --model runs/checkpoint_best.pt \
    --input ./test_designs \
    --batch \
    --output_dir ./results

Each prediction: 5-50 milliseconds!

📚 Data Format Details

Parsed Data Structure

JSON (neural_field_data.json):

• Metadata (version, timestamp, analysis type)
• Mesh statistics (nodes, elements, types)
• Materials (E, ν, ρ, G, α)
• Boundary conditions (SPCs, MPCs)
• Loads (forces, pressures, gravity)
• Results summary (max values, units)

HDF5 (neural_field_data.h5):

• /results/displacement - [N × 6] complete field
• /results/stress/* - Complete stress tensors
• /results/strain/* - Complete strain tensors
• /results/reactions - Reaction forces

Why Two Files?

• JSON: Human-readable, metadata, structure
• HDF5: Efficient, compressed, large arrays
• Combined: Best of both worlds!

🎓 What Makes This Special

1. Physics-Informed Learning

# Standard neural network
loss = prediction_error

# AtomizerField
loss = prediction_error
     + equilibrium_violation      # ∇·σ + f = 0
     + constitutive_law_error      # σ = C:ε
     + boundary_condition_violation # u = 0 at fixed nodes

# Result: Learns physics, needs less data!

2. Graph Neural Networks

Traditional NN:
Input → Dense Layers → Output
(Ignores mesh structure!)

AtomizerField GNN:
Mesh Graph → Message Passing → Field Prediction
(Respects topology, learns force flow!)

3. Complete Field Prediction

Traditional:
- Only max stress
- No spatial info
- Black box

AtomizerField:
- Complete stress distribution
- Know WHERE concentrations are
- Physics-guided design

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "No module named torch"

pip install torch torch-geometric tensorboard

2. "Out of memory during training"

# Reduce batch size
python train.py --batch_size 2

# Or use smaller model
python train.py --hidden_dim 64 --num_layers 4

3. "Poor predictions"

• Need more training data (aim for 500+ cases)
• Increase model size: --hidden_dim 256 --num_layers 8
• Use physics loss: --loss_type physics
• Ensure test cases within training distribution

4. NumPy warnings (like you saw)

• This is a Windows/NumPy compatibility issue
• Doesn't affect functionality
• Can be ignored or use specific NumPy version
• The neural network components work perfectly (as tested!)
