Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial design, and more specifically, to an industrial design optimization method, apparatus, and storage medium based on digital twins and particle swarm iteration feedback. Background Technology

[0002] As the complexity of industrial design objects increases in terms of geometry, material selection, and manufacturing processes, the design phase often requires a joint trade-off among multiple physical indicators such as structural strength, thermal response, and vibration performance. Without a unified virtual prototype verification object and repeatable simulation evaluation criteria, design parameter adjustments typically rely on physical prototype fabrication and multiple rounds of manual comparison, making it difficult to develop a parameter set that can be directly used for subsequent engineering analysis during the design phase.

[0003] Current industrial design optimization typically relies on physical prototype fabrication, single-round simulation verification, or localized empirical corrections. This approach makes it difficult to continuously verify different parameter combinations on the same design model, and it also struggles to stably map the combined changes in geometric, material, and process parameters into a comprehensive evaluation of structural, thermal, and vibrational performance. This results in a lack of a consistent engineering loop between the parameter update process and the verification results.

[0004] Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms can be used to search for candidate design parameters within a given parameter space. However, existing PSO processes typically only iterate based on pre-defined objective functions and constraints, lacking a mechanism to further convert simulation verification results into objective function weight update terms or constraint boundary update terms. When performance deviations still exist after verification, existing methods often require manual resetting of optimization conditions.

[0005] Digital twin technology can build virtual prototypes based on CAD (Computer-Aided Design) geometric data and perform multiphysics simulation analysis of structure, thermal, and vibration in virtual space. However, existing digital twin applications are mostly used for static simulation demonstration, one-way condition monitoring, or one-time parameter verification. Summary of the Invention

Generate performance evaluation results that include the verification results corresponding to the simulation indicators, as the basis for outputting the final engineering parameter set.

[0024] This embodiment provides an industrial design optimization method based on digital twins and particle swarm optimization, applicable to industrial design scenarios. Figure 1 A flowchart of an industrial design optimization method using digital twins and particle swarm optimization iterative feedback, provided for embodiments of this application, is included in the following steps: Step 110: Map the design parameter space associated with the digital twin model of the product to be optimized to the initial population of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and complete the initialization of the computing environment; Among them, a digital twin model refers to a three-dimensional virtual prototype built based on the CAD geometric data of the product to be optimized, used to carry out design parameter backfilling, multiphysics simulation verification, and optimization result verification. For example... Figure 3The diagram illustrates the structure of a digital twin model. This model may include a design analysis layer, a manufacturing analysis layer, a testing analysis layer, and an operation and maintenance analysis layer, used to perform corresponding simulation analysis and verification on parameter combinations in the design parameter space. Before step 110, a digital twin model of a 3D virtual prototype of the product to be optimized can be constructed, and an associated design parameter space and simulation boundary conditions can be established. The design parameter space refers to a set of parameter values ​​consisting of at least two of the following: geometric parameters, material parameters, and process parameters, used to limit the search range of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The design parameter space may include at least two of the following: geometric parameters, material parameters, and process parameters. The geometric parameters include at least wall thickness parameters and stiffener size parameters; the material parameters include at least material elastic modulus parameters and thermal conductivity parameters; and the process parameters include at least weight-reducing hole distribution parameters.

[0025] Step 120: Perform multiphysics simulation on the digital twin model, and perform the first stage of particle swarm optimization based on the obtained simulation index to obtain a preliminary optimized solution set; Among them, simulation indices refer to one or more of the structural performance indices, thermal performance indices, and vibration performance indices obtained through multiphysics simulation and used to evaluate the performance of candidate design schemes. The preliminary optimized solution set refers to the set of candidate design parameter combinations and their corresponding simulation index results output by the first-stage particle swarm optimization.

[0026] Step 130: Perform consistency simulation verification on the same digital twin model for the preliminary optimized solution set, and generate objective function weight update term and / or simulation boundary condition constraint boundary update term based on engineering feedback information and simulation verification results; Consistency simulation verification involves performing a unified evaluation caliber simulation verification on the preliminary optimized solution set under the same digital twin model and preset simulation boundary conditions to generate verification deviations that can be used for updating term generation. Objective function weight update terms refer to update objects generated based on simulation verification results, used to adjust the weight coefficients of corresponding performance indicators in the objective function. Constraint boundary update terms refer to update objects generated based on simulation verification results, used to adjust the upper and / or lower thresholds of corresponding constraint terms. Engineering feedback information refers to engineering constraint information input in structured record form that can jointly generate update terms with the simulation verification results. By enabling multi-physics simulation indicators to participate in parameter evaluation, the consistency between the output engineering parameter set and the preset service conditions can be improved. By converting simulation verification results into objective function weight update terms and / or constraint boundary update terms, the second-stage particle swarm optimization can perform targeted corrections for verification deviation terms.

[0027] Step 140: Perform the second stage of particle swarm optimization based on the updated terms, and output the updated design parameter set; By completing the first stage of particle swarm optimization, consistency simulation verification, update term generation, and the second stage of particle swarm iterative optimization on the same digital twin virtual model, the risk of parameter inconsistency caused by switching between different models can be reduced.

[0028] Step 150: Fill the updated design parameter set back into the same digital twin model to perform verification, and output the verified engineering parameter set.

[0029] The validated engineering parameter set refers to the combination of design parameters that meets the output conditions after backfilling verification. During the backfilling verification phase, the performance evaluation results are used to record whether the updated design parameter set meets the preset performance threshold or safety margin. The performance evaluation results include at least the parameter set number, simulation index name, simulation value, corresponding threshold or safety margin, and a pass / fail flag.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the simulation metrics include at least one of Von Mises equivalent stress, maximum displacement deformation, steady-state temperature field distribution, and vibration modal frequency, and the simulation verification is based on comparing the simulation metrics with a preset performance threshold or safety margin.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the preliminary optimized solution set is subjected to consistency simulation verification on the same digital twin model, and an objective function weight update term is generated based on engineering feedback information and simulation verification results, including: If any of the simulation metrics deviates from the corresponding preset performance threshold or safety margin, the simulation metric with the deviation will be marked as a metric to be corrected. Increase the weight coefficient of the index to be corrected in the objective function so that the particle swarm optimization in the second stage prioritizes correcting the performance deviation corresponding to the index to be corrected.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the preliminary optimized solution set is subjected to consistency simulation verification on the same digital twin model, and constraint boundary update terms for the simulation boundary conditions are generated based on engineering feedback information and simulation verification results, including: If any of the simulation metrics does not meet the corresponding preset performance threshold or safety margin, the upper limit threshold and / or lower limit threshold of the constraint term corresponding to the simulation metric are tightened or relaxed and updated, and the updated threshold is used as the constraint condition for the second stage particle swarm iterative optimization.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the engineering feedback information includes at least one of assembly clearance space constraints and modal frequency clearance intervals.

[0034] The engineering feedback information can be input in the form of a structured record, including at least a feedback type field, a target performance index field, a target area field, a constraint value field, and an execution priority field; wherein, the assembly avoidance space constraint is used to limit the space envelope that needs to be retained in the assembly state, and the modal frequency avoidance interval is used to limit the range of vibration frequencies that need to be avoided.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the step of backfilling the updated design parameter set into the same digital twin model for verification and outputting a verified set of engineering parameters includes: After the updated design parameter set is backfilled into the same digital twin model, multiphysics simulation verification is performed again. Generate performance evaluation results that include the verification results corresponding to the simulation indicators, as the basis for outputting the final engineering parameter set.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the digital twin model includes a manufacturing analysis layer; The industrial design optimization method based on digital twins and particle swarm optimization iterative feedback also includes: Before outputting the final set of engineering parameters, a consistency check is performed. The manufacturing analysis layer performs a structural topology check on the backfilled scheme to ensure that the design changes do not cause interference in the assembly space and that all geometric corrections meet the preset molding process limitations.

[0037] By adding final verification and consistency checks before output, post-verification can be performed to address assembly interference risks and process incompatibility risks caused by geometric corrections.

[0038] In one alternative implementation, the digital twin model includes a test analytics layer; The industrial design optimization method based on digital twins and particle swarm optimization iterative feedback also includes: During the verification process of backfilling the updated design parameter set into the same digital twin model, in-depth structural integrity verification is performed. The test analysis layer performs fatigue damage accumulation simulation under full life cycle conditions on the backfill scheme to verify the reliability of the physical structure corresponding to the engineering parameter set under long-term repetitive motion conditions.

[0039] By adding full-life-cycle fatigue damage accumulation simulation when needed, the reliability of the physical structure under long-term repetitive motion conditions can be further verified.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment using the design of an industrial robot linkage as an example, the method uses the same digital twin virtual prototype as a unified object for the first stage of particle swarm optimization, consistency simulation verification, update term generation, the second stage of particle swarm iterative optimization, and final verification. Its basic process is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes: CAD modeling and digital twin model mapping; the first stage: automated optimization; dynamic feedback reconstruction; the second stage: feedback-driven reinforcement; outputting optimal parameters and virtual verification.

[0041] The original CAD geometric data of the industrial robot links are imported into a digital twin platform to construct a corresponding 3D virtual prototype. The digital twin model includes a design analysis layer, a manufacturing analysis layer, and a test analysis layer. The design analysis layer receives geometric and material parameters and backfills them; the manufacturing analysis layer verifies whether the updated design parameters meet the preset molding process limitations; and the test analysis layer performs multiphysics simulation verification on the updated design parameters. Through this combination of modules, the virtual prototype maintains consistency with the product to be optimized in terms of geometric topology, assembly relationships, and material constitutive relations.

[0042] Simulation boundary conditions corresponding to the service state of the connecting rod are set on the digital twin model. These boundary conditions include: geometric constraints to define the fixed boundary and kinematic pair limits at the connecting flange; environmental conditions to define the ambient temperature, convective heat transfer coefficient, and atmospheric pressure; and external loads to define the inertial force and torsional load generated by acceleration. In this embodiment, the connecting flange is set to fully constrained and fixed, the inertial force is set to 500 N, the torsional load is set to 30 Nm, the ambient temperature gradient is set to -20℃ to 60℃, and the convective heat transfer coefficient and atmospheric pressure are used as preset environmental parameters to ensure that subsequent multiphysics simulations can reflect the mechanical, thermal, and vibrational responses of the connecting rod under complex operating conditions.

[0043] The geometric, material, and manufacturing parameters of the connecting rod structure are mapped to the initial population for a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The geometric parameters include at least the wall thickness of the connecting rod mid-section and the thickness of the stiffeners; the material parameters include at least the elastic modulus and thermal conductivity; and the manufacturing parameters include at least the density of the weight-reducing holes. After setting preset upper and lower bounds for each parameter, an initial particle swarm is generated. The particle position vector, velocity vector, and iteration control parameters for each particle are then initialized to complete the computational environment initialization for the PSO algorithm, ensuring that the subsequent first-stage particle swarm optimization occurs within the preset search space.

[0044] Based on the linkage parameter optimization objective, multiphysics simulations are performed on a digital twin model to obtain simulation indices including at least VonMises equivalent stress, maximum displacement deformation, steady-state temperature field distribution, and the frequencies of the first six vibration modes. A first-stage particle swarm optimization is then performed based on these indices to obtain a preliminary optimized solution set. Each set of candidate design parameters in the preliminary optimized solution set is associated with and stored in relation to the corresponding simulation index results for use in subsequent consistency simulation verification and update term generation.

[0045] In this embodiment, structural strength verification is performed using a safety margin criterion, where the safety margin is the ratio of the allowable stress of the material to the maximum Von Mises equivalent stress, with a lower limit of 1.5. Vibration performance verification is based on whether the frequencies of the first to sixth modalities fall within a preset avoidance range. Thermal performance verification is based on whether the steady-state temperature of key components exceeds a preset temperature rise threshold. The above values ​​are only used as verification criteria in this embodiment.

[0046] The candidate design parameters from the preliminary optimized solution set are backfilled into the same digital twin model. Consistency simulation verification is performed under unified simulation boundary conditions and unified evaluation criteria, and the simulation verification results are compared with preset performance thresholds or safety margins. When any simulation index deviates from the corresponding preset performance threshold or safety margin, the simulation index is marked as an index to be corrected, and corresponding objective function weight update terms and / or constraint boundary update terms are generated.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the structural strength corresponding to the index to be corrected is insufficient, the weight coefficient of the structural strength index in the objective function is increased; when the vibration performance corresponding to the index to be corrected does not meet the frequency avoidance requirements, the upper and / or lower threshold values ​​of the corresponding modal frequency constraint term are updated; when the thermal performance corresponding to the index to be corrected exceeds the temperature rise threshold, the threshold range of the corresponding temperature constraint term is updated. Under the updated objective function weights and / or constraint boundary conditions, updated inputs are provided for the second-stage particle swarm optimization iteration.

[0048] In this embodiment, the engineering feedback information used to generate the update terms is input in a structured record format, including at least a feedback type field, a target performance index field, a target region field, a constraint value field, and an execution priority field. Specifically, the assembly avoidance space constraint defines the spatial envelope that the link must retain in its assembled state, and the modal frequency avoidance interval defines the range of vibration frequencies to be avoided. The engineering feedback information, together with the simulation verification results, participates in the generation of the objective function weight update term and / or constraint boundary update term.

[0049] Using the updated terms, a second-stage particle swarm optimization is performed under the updated objective function weights and / or constraint boundary conditions to obtain the updated design parameter set. In this embodiment, the second-stage particle swarm optimization is continued on the same digital twin model to avoid parameter mapping inconsistencies caused by changing the simulation object.

[0050] The updated design parameter set is then backfilled into the same digital twin model, final verification is performed, and a verified engineering parameter set is output. In one embodiment, the final verification includes re-performing multiphysics simulation verification and generating performance evaluation results. The performance evaluation results include at least the parameter set number, simulation index name, simulation value, corresponding threshold or safety margin, and pass / fail flag, and are stored in association with the updated design parameter set as the basis for outputting the final engineering parameter set.

[0051] Before outputting the final set of engineering parameters, the manufacturing analysis layer of the digital twin model performs consistency checks and structural topology verification on the backfilled solution to ensure that design changes do not cause assembly space interference and that all geometric corrections comply with preset molding process constraints. When assembly interference or process incompatibility is detected, the corresponding parameter combination can be marked as an invalid solution, and the second stage of particle swarm optimization can continue.

[0052] During the process of backfilling the updated design parameter set into the same digital twin model, performing final verification, and outputting the verified engineering parameter set, the test analysis layer of the digital twin model performs fatigue damage accumulation simulation under full life cycle conditions on the backfill scheme to verify the reliability of the physical structure corresponding to the engineering parameter set under long-term repetitive motion conditions. In this embodiment, fatigue verification under 1 million consecutive reciprocating motion conditions is used as an example of full life cycle condition verification; this value is only used as a condition for the embodiment.

[0053] Under the corresponding working conditions in this embodiment, the final output set of engineering parameters achieved a 25% weight reduction and a 15% increase in structural stiffness compared to the original design. The above results only represent the test results of this embodiment under the corresponding working conditions and verification criteria, and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention.

[0056] In one possible implementation, the update item determination module 230 includes: The indicator to be corrected marking unit is used to mark the simulation indicator with the verification deviation as an indicator to be corrected if any of the simulation indicators shows a verification deviation relative to the corresponding preset performance threshold or the safety margin. The weight coefficient adjustment unit is used to increase the weight coefficient of the index to be corrected in the objective function, so that the second-stage particle swarm iteration optimization prioritizes the correction of the performance deviation corresponding to the index to be corrected.
