CAD-Native Transformer Operators for AI-Aided Engineering
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.36806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern engineering systems, from automobiles to aircraft, are designed by using precise, continuous parametric computer-aided design (CAD) models. Evaluating design changes through numerical simulation requires meshing the continuous geometry, a computationally expensive and often brittle process that can require manual intervention and replaces the continuous representation with a discrete approximation. Most neural surrogates accelerate the simulation, but inherit this representation gap by relying on meshes, point clouds, voxels, or other samp
