Industrial design in fields such as vehicle and aerospace engineering often relies on large-scale numerical simulations to evaluate fluid dynamics performance, which can incur substantial computational costs. Deep neural networks have shown promise in improving simulation efficiency, especially graph neural networks (GNNs), which demonstrate great potential due to their flexibility with unstructured data.
MeshGraphNet-Transformer (MGN‑T) is a new architecture that fuses Transformers’ global modeling with MeshGraphNets’ geometric inductive bias, keeping a mesh‑based graph representation. It replaces iterative message passing with a physics‑attention Transformer that updates all nodal states simultaneously, enabling efficient learning on high‑resolution meshes with diverse geometries, topologies, and boundary conditions. MGN‑T accurately models impact dynamics, self‑contact, plasticity, and multivariate outputs, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art methods on classical benchmarks while using far fewer parameters.

MidSurfNet is a learning-based method for pairing faces in thin‑walled CAD models, addressing the key subproblem of mid‑surface abstraction for finite element analysis. It uses a dual‑stream scorer—one geometry stream and one attributed‑topology stream—fused by a pair‑conditioned gate to make per‑pair decisions that replace manual thresholds. The method organizes retained relations into variable‑cardinality face groups independent of processing order, and on a new MidSurf dataset of 1,575 annotated models it achieves an 87.32% pair‑level F1‑score and a 75.42% completion rate, outperforming rule‑based baselines, especially on multi‑wall‑thickness cases.

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.
