[0024] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] Currently, in the field of metal additive manufacturing, especially in powder bed melting technologies represented by selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM), process optimization and quality control consistently face complex challenges arising from the coupling effects of multiple physical fields. This process involves various physical phenomena, including laser energy absorption, molten pool dynamics, solid-state phase transitions, thermal stress evolution, protective gas flow, and powder-gas interaction. These phenomena exhibit strong nonlinear coupling relationships, collectively forming a complex physical system with cross-scale and multi-mechanism coupling. However, existing simulation methods are typically limited to modeling single fields or simplified coupling approaches, making it difficult to comprehensively capture the transient dynamics during laser melting, the non-equilibrium phase transition mechanisms during heat conduction, the turbulence effects in gas flow, and the momentum-energy exchange behavior between the gas and powder particles.

[0026] Specifically, in terms of thermal management, the interaction between heat conduction, convection cooling, and dynamic thermal behavior of the molten pool in the forming cylinder system has not yet been systematically integrated in simulations. As a key heat dissipation component, the temperature distribution of the forming cylinder directly affects the thermal deformation of the substrate and the residual stress distribution of the parts. However, most current studies still simplify it to an isothermal or adiabatic boundary, ignoring the non-uniform heat accumulation effect in the actual process. Regarding gas-solid coupling, the flow field characteristics of the protective gas have a significant impact on molten pool stability, spatter transport, dust removal, and thermal field distribution. However, existing models often decouple gas flow from thermophysical processes, failing to effectively construct a two-way coupling mechanism between airflow, thermal field, and spatter movement, resulting in an inability to accurately predict the formation patterns of forming defects under different airflow parameters. Furthermore, research on the synergistic optimization between system-level heat dissipation design and process strategies is still lacking. There are complex interactions between multiple parameters such as forming cylinder cooling conditions, protective gas flow rate and temperature, laser power, and scanning strategy. Traditional simulation methods often focus on local optimization within a single process window, failing to construct a multi-objective, multi-constraint synergistic control mechanism at the system level. This means that current process development still heavily relies on "trial and error" experimental verification, which not only leads to long R&D cycles and high material costs, but also makes it difficult to achieve precise control over the robustness of the forming quality, severely restricting the development of metal additive manufacturing technology towards industrialization and large-scale production.

[0027] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide a multiphysics coupling simulation method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. This method first acquires a set of simulation input data; then prepares for simulation calculations based on the set of simulation input data to obtain simulation input results; finally, it optimizes the simulation input results based on a multiphysics coupling model to obtain optimized device results. This application optimizes simulation input data using a multiphysics coupling model to obtain corresponding optimized device results, shortening the device development cycle, reducing production costs, and providing core technical support for the high-precision, high-efficiency, and intelligent development of metal additive manufacturing processes.
