Current simulation of metal forging processes use advanced finite element methods. Such methods consist of solving mathematical equations, which takes a significant amount of time for the simulation to complete. Computational time can be prohibitive for parametric response surface exploration tasks. In this paper, we propose as an alternative, a Graph Neural Network-based graph prediction model to act as a surrogate model for parameters search space exploration and which exhibits a time cost reduced by an order of magnitude. Numerical experiments show that this new model outperforms the Point-Net model and the Dynamic Graph Convolutional Neural Net model.
