Especially in the field of prefabricated buildings, BIM technology plays an important role. As a modular and standardized building form, prefabricated substations can be quickly assembled through prefabricated components, significantly improving construction efficiency and quality. In the design process of the prefabricated substation facade, how to simultaneously consider the aesthetic requirements of the design, the stability of the structure, and the feasibility of construction is an important and challenging issue.
[0003] Traditional prefabricated substation facade design usually takes aesthetics, structural stability and construction feasibility as independent design goals, ignoring the interrelationship and coordination between them. In addition, the design process lacks a comprehensive, multi-objective optimization framework, and the design scheme will lead to over-optimization of certain goals while ignoring the importance of other goals, affecting the effectiveness of the final design and the smoothness of construction, leading to design changes and construction delays.
[0004] In addition, traditional design methods usually lack flexibility and cannot dynamically adjust the design scheme to adapt to different design requirements or construction conditions. The lack of adaptive optimization methods will lead to low design efficiency, and the design results cannot be reasonably adjusted according to actual conditions. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency and quality of prefabricated substation facade design through intelligent design optimization methods has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the current design field.

[0052] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0053] Embodiment:
[0054] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for generating parametric design of the facade of an assembled substation based on BIM, including:
[0055] Step 1: Construct a design parameter space. First, define the parameters for the facade design of the assembled substation. The parameters include the dimensions of the components, the spacing between components, the facade window opening ratio, the material properties of the components, and the connection methods of the components;
[0056] Step 2: Set the corresponding value ranges for each design variable in the design parameter space to meet the geometric constraint conditions;
[0057] Step 3: On the basis of the design parameter space determined in the above steps, establish an objective function to achieve multi-objective optimization through the objective function. The objective function includes aesthetics, structural stability, and construction feasibility. The weight coefficients of the objective function are set according to the design requirements, and the objective function is weighted and optimized in combination with the weight coefficients;
[0058] Step 4: During the optimization process, according to the values of each design variable in the design parameter space, consider the corresponding constraint conditions. The constraint conditions include geometric constraints, structural stability constraints, and construction constraints. Through the set constraint conditions, the generated design scheme is made to meet the actual requirements of operations such as the production, transportation, and hoisting of assembled components, and can maintain the structural stability under external forces;
[0059] Step 5: After the optimization step is completed, use finite element analysis to perform mechanical simulation on the design scheme, calculate the stress and deformation of each design scheme under actual loads, and evaluate whether it meets the requirements of structural stability;
[0060] Step 6: After finite element analysis, an optimization algorithm is used to search the design parameter space, generate a new design solution and evaluate the fitness, and through continuous screening, crossover, and mutation, find the optimal solution;
[0061] Step 7: According to the multiple solutions generated by the optimization algorithm, screen the best design solutions that meet aesthetics, structural stability, and construction feasibility, and based on the Pareto optimal solution set, designers can determine the final solution according to actual needs;
[0062] Step 8: Display the determined design solution through a data visualization tool to help designers evaluate the solution.
[0063] Benefits of Step 1: By defining the parameters of the prefabricated substation facade design and establishing the design parameter space, it lays the foundation for subsequent design optimization. The construction of the design parameter space ensures the comprehensiveness of the design;
[0064] Benefits of Step 2: By setting appropriate value ranges for the design variables, it ensures that the design solution is optimized within the scope of physical and engineering feasibility. The setting of geometric constraint conditions helps to avoid design solutions that do not meet the actual production and construction requirements in the design, ensuring the feasibility of the design;
[0065] Benefits of Step 3: By incorporating aesthetics, structural stability, and construction feasibility into the objective function and weighted optimization, it can comprehensively consider the balance of multiple design objectives. The multi-objective optimization method can ensure the best balance among aesthetics, practicality, and construction feasibility in the design solution, avoiding the deviation caused by single-objective optimization in traditional design methods;
[0066] Benefits of Step 4: Considering various constraint conditions of geometry, structure, and construction, it effectively ensures that the design solution meets the design objectives and is operable during the actual production and construction process. By setting clear constraint conditions, it avoids situations where the design solution cannot be realized and is infeasible in actual applications;
[0067] Benefits of Step 5: Using finite element analysis to conduct mechanical simulation on the design solution can accurately evaluate the stress and deformation of the design under actual loads, ensuring structural stability. This step can timely detect potential problems in the design solution and avoid safety hazards during actual construction;
[0068] Benefits of Step 6: By using an optimization algorithm to search the design space, quickly find the optimal solution that meets the design requirements. The optimization algorithm can automatically adjust the design variables, and through fitness evaluation, select the most suitable design solution, improving design efficiency and accuracy. The screening, crossover, and mutation operations of the genetic algorithm can help the algorithm quickly find the global optimal solution;
[0069] Benefits of Step 7: Through the generation and screening of multiple solutions and in combination with the Pareto optimal solution set, the most suitable design solution can be flexibly selected according to different priorities of design objectives. Designers can choose the best solution according to actual needs, improving the pertinence and operability of the design;
[0070] Benefits of Step 8: By using a data visualization tool to display the final design solution, designers can intuitively evaluate the design effect and optimize the design based on the visual feedback. The visual display improves the efficiency of solution evaluation, helps designers understand the actual effect of the design, and ensures the feasibility and optimization effect of the solution.
[0071] The construction of the design parameter space includes preliminary preprocessing before optimization for each design variable. The preliminary preprocessing before optimization includes regularizing the dimensions of components, the spacing between components, the elevation window opening ratio, the material properties of components, and the connection methods of components. The process of regularization includes normalizing the design variable x i to make its value range become the standard interval:
[0072]
[0073] i = 1, 2, …, n,
[0074] where, x i is the original design variable, l i and u i are the minimum and maximum values of x i respectively, x′ i is the normalized design variable, and n represents the number of design variables.
[0075] By regularizing and normalizing the design variables, the value range of the design variables can be converted into a unified standard interval, ensuring that different design variables have the same scale during the optimization process, enabling the optimization algorithm to efficiently process the high-dimensional parameter space;
[0076] Regularization makes the values of the design variables fall within the same standard interval, reducing the difference in the algorithm convergence speed caused by different value ranges. The normalized design variables can improve the search efficiency of the optimization algorithm, reduce the algorithm complexity, and enhance the speed and accuracy of the optimization process;
[0077] Normalization makes the variation ranges of the design variables numerically tend to be consistent, facilitating effective comparison between design variables. The unified scale of different design parameters enables the system to fairly evaluate the influence of each variable on the final design during optimization.
[0078] The objective function is comprehensively optimized by the weighted average method. The aesthetic part f 1 (x) of the objective function is defined as:
[0079]
[0080] Among them, f 1 (x) is the aesthetic part of the objective function, and α i is the weight coefficient of the influence of the design variable x i on the aesthetic objective. x i is the design variable, i represents the index of the i-th design variable currently being calculated, and n represents the number of design variables.
[0081] The weighted average method is used to optimize the objective function, comprehensively considering multiple objectives of aesthetics, structural stability, and construction feasibility. By allocating the influence of the weight coefficient on each objective, designers can flexibly adjust the priority between objectives according to the needs of the project, ensuring that the final design can achieve the best balance among multiple objectives;
[0082] The aesthetic objective is incorporated into the weighted average objective function, and the influence of the design variable on the aesthetic objective is quantified, clearly defining the specific requirements of design aesthetics, standardizing the aesthetic evaluation, and providing a clear quantitative basis for design optimization;
[0083] The introduction of the weight coefficient makes the design optimization process more flexible. Designers can dynamically adjust the weight of the aesthetic objective according to different design stages or project requirements, effectively controlling the aesthetic priority in the design process;
[0084] Through the weight coefficient and the weighted average method, the optimization process can clarify different focuses of the aesthetic objective in a numerical and quantitative way, reduce subjective judgments in the design process, and ensure the balance and fairness among objectives in the optimization process.
[0085] The structural stability objective function f 2 (x) is based on finite element analysis. By calculating the stress and deformation of the design scheme under external forces, the calculation methods of stress and deformation are as follows:
[0086]
[0087] Among them, f 2 (x) is the structural stability objective function, σ i (x) is the stress of the i-th node, and δ i (x) is the deformation of the i-th node. N is the total number of nodes, and i represents the index of the i-th design variable currently being calculated.
[0088] By calculating stress and deformation based on finite element analysis, the structural stability of the design scheme under actual loads can be accurately evaluated. Finite element analysis can conduct detailed mechanical simulations of the structure, simulate the stress distribution and deformation under external forces, provide reliable data support, and ensure that the design scheme has sufficient structural safety during construction and long-term use;
[0089] By defining the structural stability objective function and incorporating stress and deformation into the calculation, the stability of the structure is quantified, making the performance of the structure more controllable. Designers can clearly see the potential weak links in the design, conduct targeted optimizations, and improve the overall performance of the structure;
[0090] Using the calculation results of stress and deformation as part of the structural stability objective function enables the optimization process to accurately reflect the performance of the design scheme under actual loads, ensuring that the structural optimization is limited to the aesthetics of the form and spatial layout, and fully considering the bearing capacity, stability, and safety of the structure;
[0091] By calculating the stress and deformation of each node, the safety of the design scheme is systematically checked during the design stage, rather than relying on traditional manual checks and empirical judgments. The stress and deformation values of each node can be accurately calculated and continuously adjusted during the design optimization, effectively avoiding potential safety hazards during the design process;
[0092] Combining the optimization with the finite element analysis calculation results enables the design to quickly screen out the most suitable scheme that meets the stability requirements in the multi-parameter space. By automatically calculating stress and deformation, the design optimization efficiency is improved, while reducing human intervention and errors in the design.
[0093] The construction feasibility objective function f 3 (x) is defined in the following form:
[0094]
[0095] where f 3 (x) is the construction feasibility objective function, β i is the construction difficulty coefficient of the i-th component, x i is the design variable, i represents the index of the i-th design variable currently being calculated, and n represents the number of design variables.
[0096] Taking the construction difficulty coefficient as part of the construction feasibility objective function helps to quantify the construction difficulty of each component in the design. By assigning construction difficulty coefficients to each component, the difficulties caused by the components during construction can be clearly identified, enabling the design team to make adjustments during the optimization stage to ensure the effective allocation of resources and time during the construction process;
[0097] The introduction of the construction feasibility objective function enables the consideration of aesthetics and structural stability during the design process, and fully takes into account the construction feasibility. By quantitatively analyzing the construction difficulty of each component, the actual feasibility of the design can be accurately evaluated, ensuring the smooth implementation of the design scheme in actual construction;
[0098] By calculating the construction difficulty coefficient, the construction resource requirements of each component in the design can be effectively evaluated, which helps to optimize the resource allocation, reasonably arrange the construction sequence, reduce the construction cost, and improve the overall construction efficiency;
[0099] The construction feasibility objective function helps to identify construction problems during the design stage, avoiding unexpected difficulties and delays in the subsequent construction process. By pre-evaluating the construction difficulty of each component, designers can make corresponding adjustments to reduce the risks of design changes and construction stoppages;
[0100] Incorporating construction feasibility into the objective function for optimization makes the design optimization depend on traditional structural and aesthetic goals, taking into account the actual requirements of the construction stage. Through comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects, the optimal design scheme that meets the actual construction conditions can be quickly screened out, enhancing the overall efficiency of the design process.
[0101] The optimization algorithm uses the genetic algorithm to search in the high-dimensional design space, and the genetic algorithm is implemented through the following steps:
[0102] a. Initialize the population: Generate a set of design variables x 1 , x 2 , …, x p , where p represents the population size;
[0103] b. Fitness evaluation: Calculate the fitness F(x i ) of each design scheme x i through the objective function F(x);
[0104] c. Selection, crossover, and mutation: Perform selection, crossover, and mutation operations on individuals according to the fitness;
[0105] d. Constraint handling: For solutions that do not meet the constraint conditions, use the penalty function method to punish the solutions that do not meet the constraints.
[0106] During the optimization process of the genetic algorithm, the generated multi-solution set is screened through the Pareto optimal solution set, and the Pareto optimal solution set is calculated through the following formula:
[0107] F(x) = w 1 f 1 (x) + w 2 f 2 (x) + w 3 f 3(x),
[0108] where f 1 (x) is the aesthetic part of the objective function, f 2 (x) is the structural stability objective function, f 3 (x) is the construction feasibility objective function, and w 1 , w 2 and w 3 are the weight coefficients of the objective function.
[0109] The genetic algorithm is a powerful global optimization method that can conduct a comprehensive search in the high-dimensional design space and avoid falling into local optimal solutions. Through the evolution of the population, the genetic algorithm can explore the design space and approach the optimal solution. It is suitable for complex design problems, especially in the context of the facade design of prefabricated substations involving multiple objectives and multiple constraints, and can ensure finding the global optimal solution;
[0110] The genetic algorithm realizes multi-objective optimization through the Pareto optimal solution set and can consider multiple objectives of aesthetics, structural stability, and construction feasibility simultaneously. The Pareto optimal solution set can provide solutions that achieve the best balance among multiple objectives rather than a single optimal solution, allowing designers to select the most suitable solution according to specific requirements;
[0111] The selection, crossover, and mutation operations of the genetic algorithm have strong flexibility and adaptability. According to different design objectives, the genetic algorithm can dynamically adjust the search path, optimize the design variables, and flexibly adapt to various changes and different constraint conditions in the design process. Especially in the scenario of multi-objective optimization, it can adjust the weights of the objective functions according to the optimization process and precisely meet the design requirements;
[0112] By introducing the Pareto optimal solution set and weighted objective functions, the genetic algorithm can be flexibly adjusted according to the weight coefficients of different objectives to achieve multi-objective optimization. Designers can adjust the weight coefficients to achieve the best balance among aesthetics, structural stability, and construction feasibility according to actual needs, ensuring the coordination and adaptability of the design scheme among multiple objectives.
[0113] The optimization process includes performing fitness evaluation on each design variable x i , and the fitness evaluation formula is: A(x i ) = α 1 f 1 (x i ) + α 2 f 2 (x i ) + α 3 f 3 (x i ),
[0114] where A(x i) is the design variable x i 's fitness, f 1 (x) is the aesthetic part of the objective function, f 2 (x) is the structural stability objective function, f 3 (x) is the construction feasibility objective function, α 1 、α 2 and α 3 are the weight coefficients.
[0115] During the optimization process, a dynamic adjustment mechanism is introduced to dynamically adjust the weight coefficients of the objective function according to the performance of the intermediate solutions in the optimization process. The adjustment formula is:
[0116]
[0117] Among them, and are the original weight coefficients of the objective function, and are the weight coefficients after dynamic adjustment, Δw 1 、Δw 2 and Δw 3 are the adjustment factors based on the fitness evaluation results of the design scheme in the optimization process.
[0118] By introducing the dynamic adjustment mechanism, the present invention can flexibly adjust the weight coefficients of the objective function according to the performance of the intermediate solutions in the optimization process, thereby improving the flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy of the optimization process. Dynamically adjusting the weight coefficients makes the design optimization conform to the actual requirements, achieves a reasonable balance among multiple objectives, and avoids the problem of a single objective dominating in traditional methods. Through the dynamic adjustment mechanism, the design scheme can more accurately meet various design requirements, improving the overall effect and feasibility of the design optimization.
[0119] The optimized design scheme is simulated and displayed through virtual reality technology. The steps of virtual reality simulation display include:
[0120] a. Convert the optimized design scheme into a three-dimensional model and visualize it using virtual reality technology;
[0121] b. Simulate the assembly operation in the virtual reality environment to help designers evaluate the feasibility and construction difficulty of the design scheme in actual construction;
[0122] c. Adjust the design scheme according to the virtual reality simulation results.
[0123] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
