MACHINE learning - Abstract
Machine learned generative design is an extension of the generative design process, addressing its inherent limitations, particularly those of interoperability. The proposed approach uses machine learning-based surrogate models, trained on computational model data, to replicate design evaluations and integrate them into a common environment. In this way, design alternatives can be generated and tested that satisfy all design requirements and considerations. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by the design and optimisation of the enclosure structure for the New Robotic Telescope. Its complexity is characterised by multiple operating states that the enclosure can assume, in particular the closed state and the opening/closing state, each of which has a different structural behaviour. Using our approach, the results from each state were replicated with machine learning models and combined into a single evaluation model. This resulted in finding multiple solutions that outperformed the benchmark design. The results demonstrate not only the success of our method over conventional strategies, but also highlight its potential to redefine future design optimisation processes. • Novel method for extending generative design methodology through machine learning • Addresses the limitation of interoperability by integrating trained machine learning models into a combined evaluation model. • Machine learning-based surrogate models enable efficient design exploration. • Demonstrated effectiveness in successfully designing and optimising the enclosure structure of the New Robotic Telescope. • Several solutions were found that outperform the benchmark design, demonstrating the potential of this method.
