PhysicsX introduces free-to-use “AI for Advanced Engineering” to transform aerospace development

PhysicsX releases the first large-scale geometry model, LGM-Aero, for aerospace engineering, trained and deployed on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing using more than 25 million different shapes. This reduces the time to investigate aerospace concepts from months to hours.

• Trained and deployed on AWS, LGM-Aero is a geometry and physics model pre-trained on a corpus of more than 25 million meshes with over 10 billion vertices, enabling dramatic reduction in aircraft concept development time.
• “Ai.rplane” is a publicly available reference application based on LGM-Aero that aims to demonstrate the model’s power to generate novel aircraft designs and predict the physics associated with aircraft performance. It was launched today at AWS re:Invent 2024 (December 2-6, 2024). Las Vegas)
• Both Ai.rplane and LGM-Aero are available on the AI ​​technical platform PhysicsX
• LGM-Aero’s training data includes a large, high-fidelity physics corpus generated using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio in collaboration with Siemens Digital Industries

December 4, 2024, London, UK – PhysicsX, a London-based startup harnessing the power of generative AI to enable breakthrough engineering in advanced industries, has launched the first Large Geometry Model (LGM) for aerospace engineering, LGM-Aero, and a public accessible reference application, Ai, launched. rplane to demonstrate its capabilities in aircraft structure design.

Air.rplane allows engineers to develop innovative aircraft designs in an infinitely large design space and instantly evaluate the potential performance of the designed aircraft.

LGM-Aero was developed and deployed on AWS and trained on more than 25 million meshes representing more than 10 billion vertices, as well as a corpus of tens of thousands of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis simulations generated with Siemens (FEA). Tools for the digital industry. It is a fully trained model that can be generalized to a wide range of aeroelastic applications. As a zero-shot model, aero performance, flight stability and structural loading are also derived for a large class of flight forms. This technology creates geometry and evaluates performance results in less than a second, compared to the several hours required for traditional numerical simulations.

“We are excited to work with PhysicsX as they develop their first large geometry model and release their flagship application Ai.rplane.” said Ozgur Tohumcu, General Manager, Automotive and Manufacturing, AWS. “This technology will accelerate the transformation of engineering in advanced industries for AWS customers, enabling them to bring their products to market faster while increasing product performance. We were impressed by PhysicsX’s pace of innovation and look forward to deepening our collaboration.”

In a seamless process, the technology creates novel designs, predicts buoyancy, drag, stability, structural stress and other attributes for each shape, and then optimizes the design according to the user’s preferences. When used in industrial applications, this workflow shortens development time from months to hours.

“Just as large language models understand text, Ai.rplane has extensive knowledge of the shapes and structures that are important for aerospace engineering,” he says Jacomo Corbo, co-founder and CEO of PhysicsX. “The technology can optimize multiple types of physics in seconds, many orders of magnitude faster than numerical simulations and with the same accuracy. We are excited about the possibilities that LGM-Aero offers our customers, but we are also aware that it is an important step towards the development of fundamental physical models.”

LGM-Aero was developed using extensive simulation technologies from Siemens to automate and scale the generation of high-quality training data, as well as using AWS Batch and Amazon EC2 to scale computing power during training. It is available on the AI ​​engineering enterprise platform PhysicsX, trusted by some of the most demanding engineering and manufacturing companies in advanced industries.

“We are pleased to further expand our close collaboration with AWS and announce the release of LGM-Aero and Ai.rplane. “This is a first step in transforming the way engineering is practiced in advanced industries.” added Robin Tuluie, Founder and Chairman of PhysicsX. “Over time, we will add new features to LGM-Aero and Ai.rplane, allowing users to select powertrains, add controls and other content to achieve mature designs in days rather than months or years.”
