Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building design, and in particular to a weather resistance optimization design method for an airbag template ice shell building based on an agent model. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the evaluation technology for the weatherability of ice-shell buildings is still in its infancy. The core difficulty stems from the complexity of the performance degradation mechanism of composite ice materials under long-term climatic conditions. While previous studies have revealed computational models for the sublimation rate of ice materials and the dynamic changes in their elastic modulus, a systematic quantitative assessment method for weatherability has yet to be established, resulting in a lack of actionable indicators for weatherability optimization design. Meanwhile, proxy model technology has established a relatively standardized application paradigm in architectural design: Based on Latin hypercube sampling, feature-labeled datasets are extracted and trained using black-box models using algorithms such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), replacing traditional simulation processes to improve efficiency. However, these studies have significant limitations. First, existing research focuses primarily on traditional performance objectives such as morphology and structure, completely lacking models for weatherability prediction. This stems from the lack of quantitative indicators for the weatherability of ice-shell buildings. Second, existing models rely heavily on subjectively defined design parameters and task boundaries, resulting in poor generalization. Repeated sampling and training are required for project transitions, offsetting efficiency gains by the cost of secondary modeling and failing to meet the requirements for cross-project universality. The above-mentioned technical breakpoints have resulted in the long-term dual bottlenecks of uncontrollable weather resistance and low multi-objective coordination efficiency in the optimization of ice shell building performance.

Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the examples of the present invention can be obtained commercially; unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the examples of the present invention are all conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.

[0056] Example 1, a method for optimizing the weather resistance of an airbag template ice shell building based on an agent model, comprising:

[0057] S1. Establish a proxy model of spatial morphological characteristics and microclimate responses;

[0058] S11. Construct a case study of ice shell buildings through orthogonal experimental design to extract morphological and spatial characteristics;

[0059] The morphological features include: Z-axis slope, normalized rib line distance, normalized height, maximum principal curvature and minimum principal curvature; the spatial features include: Y-axis slope and normalized wind direction distance;

[0060] S12, performing CFD simulation of wind environment and snow distribution on the ice shell building case set to obtain label information;

[0061] S13, performing model training based on the morphological features, spatial features and label information to construct an artificial neural network agent model, wherein the artificial neural network includes: 1 input layer, 4 hidden layers and 1 output layer;

[0062] S2. Calculate weather resistance index and conduct multi-objective optimization;

[0063] S21. Define the weather resistance index of ice shell buildings;

[0064] S22. constructing a parametric model of the ice shell building using the Grasshopper platform, and extracting the morphological features and the spatial features;

[0065] S23, calling back the proxy model in S1 through the gh_Cpython plug-in, inputting the morphological features and the spatial features, obtaining snow distribution and wind environment data on the ice shell surface; and combining with the Ladybug plug-in to obtain surface radiation distribution data;

[0066] S24. Based on the snow distribution and wind environment data and the surface radiation distribution data on the ice shell surface, update the morphological structure information, load information, and material performance information of the ice shell building and calculate the sublimation rate;

[0067] S25. Based on the morphological and structural information, load information, and material property information of the ice shell building, as well as the sublimation rate, the strain energy at the initial and later stages of service are calculated using the Karamba3D plug-in, and then a weather resistance index of the ice shell building is calculated.

[0068] S26. Optimizing parameters by using the NSGA-II algorithm of the Wallacei plug-in with the initial strain energy and the weather resistance index as targets.

[0069] Specifically, the goal of establishing the proxy model in S1 is to get rid of the influence of the designer's subjective intentions on the usability of the model and achieve efficiency and universality. Therefore, this step does not directly output the prediction results of the optimization target through the building design parameters. In terms of features, they can be extracted from the architectural space form. Although the architectural form is generated by the design parameters, its own characteristics are universal. In terms of labels, wind environment and snow distribution are selected. These two are generally simulated by CFD. They are the most time-consuming steps in obtaining performance indicators and are necessary microclimate environmental factors in the weather resistance mechanism. Therefore, the goal of establishing the proxy model in this step is to predict the surface wind environment and snow distribution through the shell space morphology characteristics.

[0070] In S25, the load information is determined by the snow distribution. The snow-covered part is based on a snow depth of 0.3m and a density of 450kg / m 3 The main parameter of material performance change is the elastic modulus, and the elastic modulus in the later period of service is set to 70% of the initial value. The initial material parameter settings are shown in Table 1 below:

[0071] Table 1

[0072]

[0073] pass Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that the present invention optimizes the morphological structure and material properties simultaneously through proxy models and simulation analysis to achieve comprehensive goals such as minimizing strain energy (structural stability) and improving weather resistance (environmental adaptability).

[0074] Figure 3 The results of S26 parameter optimization are presented. By comparing the trade-off between the initial service strain energy and weather resistance index under different design parameters, the optimal balance point between structural performance and weather resistance of the optimized shell shape can be obtained.

[0075] In S11, in the morphological features, the Z-axis slope is:

[0076]

[0077] Get, where S Z is the Z-axis slope, N is the number of neighborhood cell faces, is the unit normal vector, is the unit vector in the Z-axis direction;

[0092]

[0093] Obtain, among which, is the normalized wind direction distance, D w D is the vertical distance from the point to the wind inflow boundary surface. n is the distance data of all points.

[0094] Specifically, the Y-axis slope is the average of the angles between the normal vectors of the cell surfaces in the point-ring neighborhood and the y-axis, and the slope range from 0° (same-direction surface) to 180° (opposite-direction surface) is normalized. The normalized wind direction distance is the Min-Max normalized distance from the point to the wind inflow boundary surface:
