Abstract: For a multiplicity of design variants of a technical product, a training structural data set specifying the particular design variant and a training quality value quantifying a predefined design criterion are read in in each case as training data. The training data are taken as a basis for training a Bayesian neural network to determine an associated quality value, together with an associated uncertainty comment, on the basis of a structural data set. Furthermore, a multiplicity of synthetic structural data sets are generated and fed into the trained Bayesian neural network which generates a quality value with an associated uncertainty comment for each of the synthetic structural data sets. The uncertainty comments generated are compared with a predefined reliability comment and one of the synthetic structural data sets is selected on the basis thereof. The selected structural data set is then output for the purpose of producing the technical product.

Abstract: A continuous flow machine has at least one annular guide vane carrier. The guide vane carrier, formed at least by a lower part and an upper part detachably connected to same, has at least three guide vane stages retained on the inner circumference of the at least one guide vane carrier, arranged axially behind one another in the flow direction and each having a plurality of radially extending guide vanes. Each of the guide vanes also has a guide vane blade, a base plate and a top plate, wherein the guide vane blade extends between the base plate and top plate. Via the arrangement of the securing pin in an intermediate space accessible in the assembled state, a partial disassembly of the individual guide vane stages is possible, independent of the remaining guide vane stages. The guide vane stages are conventionally mounted via retaining protrusions on neighbouring guide vane stages.
