A Hybrid GNN approach for predicting node data for 3D meshes

Shwetha Salimath, Francesca Bugiotti, Frederic Magoules

Metal forging is used to manufacture dies. We require the best set of input parameters for the process to be efficient. Currently, we predict the best parameters using the finite element method by generating simulations for the different initial conditions, which is a time-consuming process. In this paper, introduce a hybrid approach that helps in processing and generating new data simulations using a surrogate graph neural network model based on graph convolutions, having a cheaper time cost. We also introduce a hybrid approach that helps in processing and generating new data simulations using the model. Given a dataset representing meshes, our focus is on the conversion of the available information into a graph or point cloud structure. This new representation enables deep learning. The predicted result is similar, with a low error when compared to that produced using the finite element method. The new models have outperformed existing PointNet and simple graph neural network models when applied to produce the simulations.
