Build Duration
The build duration determines the training time of your AI model, and as a result the accuracy of your analysis.
The longer the duration, the higher the number of iterations the model is trained on and the more precise it becomes.
Two modes are available to build your AI model:
- Debug: The debug mode has a build duration of less than 30 minutes and uses only four training data. Use the debug mode to check if a model is working properly before running a longer production training.
- Production: The production mode ranges from less than 24 hours to 5 days. The default build duration is set to "less than 2 days" as it should be sufficient to achieve maximum precision for most cases. It is good practice to increase progressively the build duration to build confidence in your model’s performance.
Note: The training time is independent of the size and number of
simulation data. There is no option to accelerate a training by leveraging more
GPU/CPU. If you are building a model with the same configuration as before, building
on top of the previous model instead of reconfiguring your model would accelerate
the training process by a factor of 5. For more information, see Building on Top of Previous Model (Deprecated).
No matter the duration selected, the Ansys SimAI platform will automatically tune the model by testing different hyper-parameters until the best performance is achieved.
