TECHNIQUES FOR WARM STARTING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSES WITH DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

A simulation application receives simulation parameters associated with a simulation to be generated. The simulation parameters include geometry associated with the simulation and corresponding boundary conditions. The simulation engine processes the simulation parameters and then, using a neural network, generates a solution estimate. Based on the estimated solution, the simulation engine then executes a finite element analysis solver using the solution estimate as a starting point. The FEA solver iterates until a converged solution is reached. The converged solution is then provided to the end-user.
