Abstract: A method and system provide the ability to optimize a structural engineering design. A dataset is synthesized by acquiring a structural skeleton design of an entire building. The skeleton defines locations and connectivities of bars that represent columns or beams. The skeleton design is represented as a structural graph with each bar represented as a graph node and edges connecting graph nodes. Structural simulation results are computed for the synthetic dataset based on the structural graph, various loads, and a structural analysis. A simulation model and a size optimization model are trained based on the structural simulation results with the size optimization model determining cross-section sizes for the bars to satisfy a building mass objective, building constraints, and output from the simulation model. The structural engineering design is output from the size optimization model.
