Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If all-atom molecular dynamics computation is used to achieve high accuracy in energy prediction, then manufacturing precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to high computation costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the computational task into two segments: (1) training phase using all-atom models to generate high-quality training data, and (2) computation phase using coarse-grained models for efficient simulation. This segmentation allows each phase to use the most appropriate model type for its specific purpose, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by training the machine learning model with all-atom molecular dynamics data before actual simulations. This preliminary training phase captures the high-accuracy characteristics of all-atom models, which are then applied during the computation phase using computationally cheaper coarse-grained models, thereby achieving both accuracy and efficiency.
2Productivity
If coarse-grained molecular dynamics is used to improve productivity by reducing computation costs, then manufacturing precision deteriorates due to limitations in sampling diverse structures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a machine learning model as an intermediary between all-atom and coarse-grained models. This intermediary is trained on all-atom data to learn accurate energy landscapes, then used to guide and enhance coarse-grained simulations. The machine learning model acts as a mediator that transfers high-accuracy characteristics to the efficient coarse-grained framework, resolving the accuracy-efficiency contradiction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation by using machine learning-predicted energies instead of traditional coarse-grained force fields. This parameter change allows coarse-grained models to achieve all-atom level accuracy in energy predictions while maintaining computational efficiency, as the machine learning model compensates for the simplified representation.
3Reliability
If traditional molecular dynamics methods are used to ensure reliability in structural analysis, then adaptability deteriorates due to difficulty in reproducing global structural changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the force field adaptive through machine learning. Instead of using fixed traditional force fields, the system dynamically adjusts energy calculations based on machine learning predictions trained on diverse all-atom configurations. This dynamic approach enables reliable structural analysis while adapting to global structural changes that traditional methods struggle to capture.

AI summary
A molecular dynamics computation device includes a processor that executes a procedure. The procedure includes: executing machine learning of a first force field for predicting energy for an input structure using, as training data, a structure of a coarse-grained model resulting from coarse-graining an all-atom model sampled by molecular dynamics computation based on an all-atom force field and an energy corresponding to the all-atom model structure; and computing molecular dynamics of a coarse-grained model based on a second force field obtained by combining the first force field that has been subjected to machine learning and an energy based on a coarse-grained model structure.
