4.1. Establishment of Sample Dataset

- Initial Parameter Configuration
- (2)
- MATLAB Call Module
- (3)
- Data Exchange Module
- Step 1: MATLAB writes the numerical values generated through random sampling into the input file “datain.txt”.
- Step 2: MATLAB uses the SYSTEM function to invoke ANSYS in batch mode and performs finite element analysis calculations by reading the data from the “datain.txt” file.
- Step 3: ANSYS extracts the computed results of the structural model and writes them into the output file “dataout.txt”.
- Step 4: MATLAB reads the array data from the “dataout.txt” file and checks if the computation requirements have been met.
- Step 5: If the requirements are not met, the process continues; if the requirements are met, the computation stops.
4.2. Process of Service Safety Assessment Using SVR
- (1)
- Importing and processing the sample dataset: The sample dataset is generated as described in Section 4. Additionally, since the influencing factors may have different scales and significant numerical differences, it is necessary to normalize the data in the sample dataset. This study mainly employs the method of min–max normalization for data processing.
- (2)
- Division and selection of training and testing sets: To avoid overfitting and underfitting, 80% of the data are used for training, while 20% are reserved for model testing. The samples are randomly divided into training and testing sets.
- (3)
- Model training: The key to SVR model training lies in selecting appropriate kernel functions and parameters. The radial basis function (RBF) kernel outperforms other kernel functions in terms of accuracy and computational performance. Therefore, this study adopts the RBF kernel. The penalty coefficient C and the kernel function parameter g are determined through k-fold cross-validation.
- (4)
- Model testing: The testing process uses a randomly sampled testing set, and the SVR model provides predicted values. By comparing the predicted values with the actual values, the coefficient of determination R2 is calculated. The closer the R2 value is to 1, the more accurate the prediction. The larger the discrepancy between R2 and 1, the lower the accuracy. Therefore, the above steps (3) and (4) should be repeated.
- (5)
- Structural safety assessment: Using the established machine learning model, the collected data can be input into the model to obtain real-time safety state probabilities of the cable net structure at a given time.

6. Conclusions
- (1)
- The results of different regions showed that the proposed structural safety assessment method under the action of multiple factors is suitable for structural safety assessment in multi-region scenarios. At the same time, it has good generalization ability and fault-tolerance ability, which improves the safety assessment of the structure under the action of multiple factors. The predicted value of the structural safety assessment model based on SVR is consistent with the actual value, and the accuracy can be guaranteed above 95%.
- (2)
- The established structural safety assessment model exhibits high potential for application in the assessment of structural safety under multiple factors, both in terms of evaluation accuracy and computational efficiency. It can help staff evaluate the safety performance of structures in various scenarios, fully consider regional factors and structural characteristics, and ensure the accuracy of the results.
- (3)
- There are still some limitations and shortcomings in this study. The applied model example is only a simple cable net structure, whose appearance and size are relatively simple, and the material properties change little. At the same time, this study only considers the effects of cable corrosion, cable relaxation, and temperature on structural safety, which is not comprehensive enough compared with the actual situation of the structure. More factors or parameters can be added to improve the accuracy of the model, such as material aging, environmental vibration, structural reliability, and so on.
- (4)
- The multi-factor structural safety assessment framework proposed in this study is not aimed at a building structure with certain characteristics. In further research, this method can be developed and trained for more building structures. According to the different forms and characteristics of different structures, the corresponding key control factors of structural safety are found. The structural safety assessment framework and model proposed in this paper are appropriately adjusted to explore the applicability of the proposed structural safety assessment model under the action of multiple factors with more diversified and more realistic structural forms and sizes and to develop structural safety assessment models for various building structures during service.
