Researchers have developed SMART, a novel transformer-based surrogate model for aerodynamic simulations. Unlike previous methods that require computationally expensive simulation meshes, SMART operates directly on raw geometry point-cloud representations. This mesh-free approach encodes geometry and simulation parameters into a latent space, allowing a physics decoder to predict physical quantities at arbitrary locations. Experiments indicate SMART is competitive with, and often surpasses, mesh-dependent methods, making it suitable for industry-level simulations. AI
