Key Features

New Model Architectures

Modulus offers a variety of approaches for training physics-based models, from purely physics-driven models like PINNs to physics-based, data-driven architectures such as neural operators, GNNs, and generative AI based diffusion models.

Modulus includes curated Physics-ML model architectures, Fourier feature networks, Fourier neural operators, GNNs, and diffusion models trained on NVIDIA DGX across open-source, free datasets found in the documentation.

Training State-of-the-Art Physics-ML Models

Modulus provides an end-to-end pipeline for training Physics-ML models—from ingesting geometry to adding PDEs and scaling the training to multi-node GPUs. Modulus also includes training recipes in the form of reference applications.

Documentation


Explicit Parameterization

Modulus provides explicit parameter specifications for training the surrogate model with a range of values to learn for the design space and for inferring multiple scenarios simultaneously.


Omniverse Integration

Modulus is now integrated with the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform for connecting and building custom 3D pipelines via an extension that can be used to visualize the outputs of a Modulus-trained model. The Modulus extension enables you to import the output results into a visualization pipeline for common output scenarios, such as streamlines and iso-surfaces. It also provides an interface that enables interactive exploration of design variables and parameters for inferring new system behavior and visualizing it in near real time.
