One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for adding dimensions to a target drawing. The technique includes generating a first set of node embeddings for a first set of nodes included in a target graph that represents the target drawing. The technique also includes receiving a second set of node embeddings for a second set of nodes included in a source graph that represents a source drawing, where one or more nodes included in the second set of nodes are associated with one or more source dimensions included in the source drawing. The technique further includes generating a set of mappings between the first and second sets of nodes based similarities between the first set of node embeddings and the second set of node embeddings, and automatically placing the one or more source dimensions within the target drawing based on the set of mappings.

Graph alignment techniques for dimensioning drawings automatically

In various embodiments, a training application trains a machine learning model to modify portions of shapes when designing 3D objects. The training application converts first structural analysis data having a first resolution to first coarse structural analysis data having a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution. Subsequently, the training application generates one or more training sets based on a first shape, the first coarse structural analysis data, and a second shape that is derived from the first shape. Each training set is associated with a different portion of the first shape. The training application then performs one or more machine learning operations on the machine learning model using the training set(s) to generate a trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model modifies at least a portion of a shape having the first resolution based on coarse structural analysis data having the second resolution.

Techniques for training a machine learning model to modify portions of shapes when generating designs for three-dimensional objects

In various embodiments, a topology optimization application solves a topology optimization problem associated with designing a three-dimensional ('3D') object. The topology optimization application coverts a first shape having a first resolution and representing the 3D object to a coarse shape having a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution. Subsequently, the topology optimization application computes coarse structural analysis data based on the coarse shape. The topology optimization application then uses a trained machine learning model to generate a second shape having the first resolution and representing the 3D object based on the first shape and the coarse structural analysis data. The trained machine learning model modifies a portion of a shape having the first resolution based on structural analysis data having the second resolution. Advantageously, generating the second shape based on structural analysis data having a lower resolution reduces computational complexity relative to prior art techniques.
