Train a CNN that predicts the stress contour in a cantilever beam with variable dimensions and a point load at the free end with variable magnitude and direction.

The input images represent information about the cantilever and loading using two channels:

  • Black background with a white/gray line oriented at the specific angle and a brightness representing the load magnitude. Angle values follow the standard coordinate system and increase counterclockwise. An angle of 0 degrees points directly right, and an angle of 90 degrees points directly up.
  • Black background with a white rectangle representing the length and height of the cantilever.

The output images are stress contours in the cantilever generated by FEA.

  • Software: ANSYS (Mechanical APDL)
  • Element type: PLANE182 (2D 4-node structural solid)
    • Thickness: 1
  • Material: structural steel
    • Elastic modulus: 200 GPa
    • Poisson's ratio: 0.3
