本文评估了基于代理模型的七参数电流激励线圈-铁芯基准问题优化,考虑几何、制造及铁芯与铜质量分离约束。通过Python-MPh-COMSOL工作流,将二维轴对称有限元方法(FEM)模型与Matern 5/2高斯过程(GP)代理模型耦合。此处的物理约束指由控制方程的FEM模型评估并受显式物理、几何、制造和材料分配约束的问题,不表示物理信息嵌入的GP架构。采用序列贝叶斯优化(BO)以期望改进(EI)排序候选方案,每次报告的最优解均经FEM验证。五组对比实验显示,优化器表现依赖于可用的FEM评估预算:在小预算下EI-BO快速提升,COBYLA在最早检查点更强,而BOBYQA达到最高平均终值响应。事后有限池研究进一步发现,在此平滑响应曲面上,EI相比后验均值排名无显著终点优势。总体结论是,早期进展、最终响应、信息利用效率与实际耗时可能使不同方法在仿真驱动设计中各有优势。在相同总电流条件下,选定设计方案仍保持BOBYQA-COBYLA-EI-BO的排序。但结论仍受限于该轴对称基准,未确立固定电流最优解、固定功率性能或电效率优越性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This work evaluates surrogate-assisted optimization of a seven-parameter current-excited coil--core benchmark subject to geometric, manufacturing, and separate core and copper mass constraints. A Python--MPh--COMSOL workflow couples a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite-element method (FEM) model to a Matern 5/2 Gaussian-process (GP) probabilistic surrogate. Here, physics-constrained denotes a design problem evaluated by a governing-equation FEM model and restricted by explicit physical, geometric, manufacturing, and material-allocation constraints; it does not denote a physics-informed GP architecture. Sequential Bayesian optimization (BO) ranks candidates using expected improvement (EI), and every reported incumbent is verified by FEM. Five paired runs show that optimizer ranking depends on the available FEM-evaluation budget: EI--BO improves rapidly at small continuation budgets, COBYLA is stronger at the earliest checkpoint, and BOBYQA attains the highest mean terminal response. A retrospective finite-pool study further finds no robust endpoint advantage of EI over posterior-mean ranking on this smooth response surface. The broader result is that early progress, terminal response, information use, and wall-clock cost can favor different methods in simulation-driven design. A selected-design check at a common total current preserves the observed BOBYQA--COBYLA--EI-BO ordering. The conclusions nevertheless remain conditional on this axisymmetric benchmark and do not establish a fixed-current optimum, fixed-power performance, or electrical-efficiency superiority.
