• Abstract: A main challenge in mechanical design is to efficiently explore the design space while satisfying engineering constraints. This work explores the use of 3D generative models to explore the design space in the context of vehicle development, while estimating and enforcing engineering constraints. Specifically, we generate diverse 3D models of cars that meet a given set of geometric specifications, while also obtaining quick estimates of performance parameters such as aerodynamic drag. For this, we employ a data-driven approach (using the ShapeNet dataset) to train VehicleSDF, a DeepSDF based model that represents potential designs in a latent space witch can be decoded into a 3D model. We then train surrogate models to estimate engineering parameters from this latent space representation, enabling us to efficiently optimize latent vectors to match specifications. Our experiments show that we can generate diverse 3D models while matching the specified geometric parameters. Finally, we demonstrate that other performance parameters such as aerodynamic drag can be estimated in a differentiable pipeline.

  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.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.
