4 Commits • 4 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Completed a comprehensive PyG-based migration across NVIDIA/physicsnemo, delivering an AeroGraphNet implementation and XAeroNet workflow built on PyTorch Geometric. Removed all DGL dependencies, modernized data loading and dataset handling, and introduced migration guidance to standardize API mappings. Refactored code to generalize graph terminology and align with PyG across PhysicsNeMo, establishing a maintainable PyG-centric baseline for future development and notebooks. Implemented an inference path for XAeroNet that outputs CFD surface predictions and exports results in VTP format. This work enables faster iteration, easier onboarding, and more reliable deployments while preserving existing research workflows.
