This paper proposes a new neural model of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) that is suitable for designing the intermediate shapes for die forging. Because the shape of heated metal gradually changes during the press, GANs should be aware of the timing and physical phenomena. In this respect, we proposed Physical Context and Timing aware sequence generating GANs (PCTGAN) that generates images in a sequence, considering the time sequence and physical quantities.

This new GAN is partly patented (U.S. Patent No: 10,970,601).
