Honda releases big data set generated by Ohio State

The CarHoods10k data set comprises a set of over 10,000 3D mesh geometries for variants of car hood frames, generated through an automated, industry-grade Computer-Aided Design (CAD) workflow. The data set provides realistic designs validated by experts in terms of realism, manufacturability, variability, and performance. Variations in geometries were generated by a feature-based approach that varies parameter values describing design features on parameterized base geometries ('skins'). Geometries are represented as surface meshes (STL files) and are provided with the corresponding design parameter values and performance metrics from structural mechanics, generated through finite element analysis (FEA). The data set provides realistic and validated designs for the evaluation and development of methods such as optimization approaches or machine learning for metamodeling or performance prediction. CarHoods10k thus enables the evaluation of data-driven approaches for application in the engineering design domain.
