• Abstract: Topology Optimization (TO) provides a systematic approach for obtaining structure design with optimum performance of interest. However, the process requires numerical evaluation of objective function and constraints at each iteration, which is computational expensive especially for large-scale design. Deep learning-based models have been developed to accelerate the process either by acting as surrogate models replacing the simulation process, or completely replacing the optimization process. However, most of them require a large set of labelled training data, which are generated mostly through simulations. The data generation time scales rapidly with the design domain size, decreasing the efficiency of the method itself. Another major issue is the weak generalizability of most deep learning models. Most models are trained to work with the design problem similar to that used for data generation and require retraining if the design problem changes. In this work a scalable deep learning-based model-order-reduction method is proposed to accelerate large-scale TO process, by utilizing MapNet, a neural network which maps the field of interest from coarse-scale to fine-scale. The proposed method allows for each simulation of the TO process to be performed at a coarser mesh, thereby greatly reducing the total computational time. Moreover, by using domain fragmentation, the transferability of the MapNet is largely improved. Specifically, it has been demonstrated that the MapNet trained using data from one cantilever beam design with a specific loading condition can be directly applied to other structure design problems with different domain shapes, sizes, boundary and loading conditions.

  Inverse design, where we seek to design input variables in order to optimize an underlying objective function, is an important problem. We show that by instead optimizing over the learned energy function captured by the diffusion model, we can avoid such adversarial examples. In an N-body interaction task and a challenging 2D multi-airfoil design task, we demonstrate that by composing the learned diffusion model at test time, our method allows us to design initial states and boundary shapes.
