This research proposes Nonlinear Parametric Model Embedding (NLPME) to overcome the limitations of linear dimensionality reduction in complex parametric shape design. By replacing a linear subspace with a nonlinear latent representation, the method achieves higher compression efficiency while maintaining an explicit backmapping essential for engineering workflows and optimization tasks. The approach demonstrates significant gains over both traditional linear methods and deep autoencoders specifically within simulation-based CAD environments.
A nonlinear extension of parametric model embedding for dimensionality reduction in parametric shape design
arXiv:2605.11759v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dimensionality reduction is essential in simulation-based shape design, where high-dimensional parameterizations hinder optimization, surrogate modeling, and systematic design-space exploration. Parametric Model Embedding (PME) addresses this issue by constructing reduced variables from geometric information while preserving an explicit backmapping to the original design parameters. However, PME is intrinsically linear and may become inefficient when the sampled design space is governed by nonlinear geometric variability. This paper introduces a nonlinear extension of PME, denoted NLPME. The proposed framework preserves the defining principle of PME -- geometry-driven latent variables and parameter-mediated reconstruction -- while replacing the linear reduced subspace with a nonlinear latent representation. Geometry is not reconstructed directly from the latent variables; instead, the latent representation is decoded into admissible design parameters, and the corresponding geometry is recovered through a forward parametric map. The method is assessed on a bio-inspired autonomous underwater glider with a 32-dimensional parametric shape description and a CAD-based geometry-generation process. NLPME reaches a 5\% reconstruction-error threshold with \(N=5\) latent variables, compared with \(N=8\) for linear PME, and a 1\% threshold with \(N=9\), compared with \(N=15\) for PME. Comparison with a deep autoencoder shows that most of the nonlinear compression gain can be retained while preserving an explicit backmapping to the original design variables. The results establish NLPME as a compact, admissible, and engineering-compatible nonlinear reduced representation for parametric shape design spaces.
