MeshGraphNet
Model Overview
MeshGraphNets is a graph neural network developed by DeepMind for mesh-based physical simulation. It rapidly predicts the dynamics of complex physical systems, including fluids, structures, and cloth.

Model Description
MeshGraphNets uses an encoder–processor–decoder graph-network architecture trained on trajectories from fluid, structural, and cloth simulations to perform long-horizon dynamical simulation of complex physical systems.
Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| External flow prediction | Predict velocity, pressure, and other flow variables at mesh nodes |
| Structural deformation simulation | Predict the displacement, stress, and deformation of loaded structures |
| Cloth dynamics | Simulate the motion of deformable objects such as flexible membranes and cloth |
| ModelScope/OneCode execution | Download the standalone model package, install its dependencies, and run the provided scripts |

2. Manual Setup
Hardware Requirements
- A GPU or DCU is recommended.
- DCU users must install DTK in advance. DTK 25.04.2 or later, or the OneScience-recommended version for the target cluster, is recommended.
Download the Model Package
modelscope download --model OneScience/MeshGraphNet --local_dir ./MeshGraphNet
cd MeshGraphNet
Set Up the Runtime Environment
DCU Environment
# Activate DTK and Conda first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y
conda activate onescience311
# Installation with uv is also supported
pip install onescience[cfd-dcu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai
GPU Environment
# Activate Conda first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y libstdcxx-ng=12 libgcc-ng=12 gcc_linux-64=12 gxx_linux-64=12
conda activate onescience311
# Installation with uv is also supported
pip install onescience[cfd-gpu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai
Training Data
The OneScience community provides the cylinder_flow dataset for training. Download it with the command below and verify that the data path in config/config.yaml is configured correctly:
modelscope download --dataset OneScience/cylinder_flow --local_dir ./data
Training
Single GPU:
python scripts/train.py
Multiple GPUs:
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=1 --rdzv_id=1000 --rdzv_backend=c10d --max_restarts=0 --master_addr="localhost" --master_port=29500 scripts/train.py
Training saves .pth files under weight/checkpoints.
Model Weights
This repository will provide weights trained on the cylinder_flow dataset in the weights/ directory. The weights will be uploaded soon.
Inference
python scripts/inference.py
Inference results are saved to result/output/.
Evaluation and Visualization
python scripts/result.py
