Thermal Actuator Surrogate Model Application

Application ID: 120731


The Thermal Actuator Surrogate Model Application demonstrates how the computational speed can be increased with the use of a surrogate model.

This app demonstrates the following:

  • Adjusting input parameters via sliders, with near-instantaneous updates to the solution retrieved from the surrogate model
  • Comparing the surrogate model solution with the full finite element solution
  • Efficient geometry sampling for data generation to be used for surrogate model training.

The 3D surrogate model has 8 input parameters: 5 input parameters, that include geometry dimension and applied voltage, and 3 input parameters for the x,y, and z coordinates.

This application example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
