    Abstract: A method of optimizing the assembly of rotating hardware of a gas turbine engine (GTE) includes obtaining a respective input data set indicative of one or more contributors to unbalance for one or of a plurality of stages of one or more modules of the GTE. For each of the module(s), one or more neural networks associated with the module are utilized to obtain, based on the respective input data set for the module, a set of optimized clock angles for arranging the stages of the module relative to each other to mitigate vibration of the GTE. Each of the first neural network(s) has been trained with training data including the contributor(s) to unbalance, and at least one rotor dynamics model that uses the training data and the set of clock angles from the neural network(s) to predict vibration at one or more locations of interest in the GTE.
