Abstract
In stress field analysis, the finite element method is a crucial approach, in which the mesh-density has a significant impact on the results. High mesh density usually contributes authentic to simulation results but costs more computing resources. To eliminate this drawback, we propose a data-driven mesh-density boost model named SuperMeshingNet that uses low mesh-density as inputs, to acquire high-density stress field instantaneously, shortening computing time and cost automatically. Moreover, the Res-UNet architecture and attention mechanism are utilized, enhancing the performance of SuperMeshingNet. Compared with the baseline that applied the linear interpolation method, SuperMeshingNet achieves a prominent reduction in the mean squared error (MSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) on the test data. The well-trained model can successfully show more excellent performance than the baseline models on the multiple scaled mesh-density, including 2X, 4X, and 8X. Enhanced by SuperMeshingNet with broaden scaling of mesh density and high precision output, FEA can be accelerated with seldom computational time and cost.
