Abstract
Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have gained significant attention as reduced order models (ROMs) to computationally expensive structural analysis methods, such as finite element analysis (FEA). Graph neural network (GNN) is a particular type of neural network which processes data that can be represented as graphs. This allows for efficient representation of complex geometries that can change during the conceptual design of a structure or a product. In this study, we propose a novel graph embedding for the efficient representation of 3D stiffened panels by considering separate plate domains as vertices. This approach is considered using Graph Sampling and Aggregation (GraphSAGE) to predict stress distributions in stiffened panels with varying geometries. A comparison between a finite element-vertex graph representation is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. A comprehensive parametric study is performed to examine the effect of structural variables on stress predictions. A wide range of geometries is considered, material nonlinearity, a few boundary conditions, together with uniform and patch loading at various positions. The study involves straight and curved panels with uni- and bi-directional stiffeners. The proposed unit-vertex representation of the panel requires only about 2% of GPU memory and about 4% of training time in comparison to a finite element-vertex embedding. The GraphSAGE model with the proposed unit-vertex representation accurately captures stress distribution across all panels, achieving an average prediction accuracy of 92.3% for the maximum von Mises stress. Our results demonstrate the immense potential of graph neural networks with the proposed graph embedding as a robust reduced-order model for 3D structures.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
