Bentley Systems’ LumenRT for NVIDIA Omniverse used across nations and industries including transit

On March 21 Bentley Systems, Inc., said its LumenRT for NVIDIA Omniverse, powered by the iTwin platform, a solution enabling infrastructure organization to create visualizations and project deliverables with speed and quality, is being used internationally and across industries to help make better-informed decisions and secure more infrastructure projects.

The integration of NVIDIA Omniverse and Bentley iTwin enables real-time, 3D/4D experiences to enhance the visualization and simulation of infrastructure digital twins.

Washington State Department of Transportation and Oregon Department of Transportation are using a digital twin developed on the iTwin Platform throughout the full program cycle, from public outreach with conceptual design, through detailed design, into construction, and eventually for continuous operations and asset management.

By leveraging the iTwin federated model for visualization, LumenRT for NVIDIA Omniverse enables change propagation that simplifies visualization workflows by linking directly to a single federated infrastructure digital twin so when changes occur, they are synchronized automatically. This allows the project stakeholders to review safety, quality and design changes. Project teams can also create virtual-reality and augmented-reality design experiences for stakeholders. As projects become larger and more complex, such virtual-reality and augmented-reality design experiences offer a way to engage customers to secure new work.

“The results being achieved by the early adopter users of LumenRT for NVIDIA Omniverse demonstrate a unique advantage for project teams working with infrastructure digital twins by providing powerful new digital twin-native workflows that make visualization advantageous to apply on projects of every scale,” said Lori Hufford, vice president, engineering collaboration, with Bentley.

NVIDIA Omniverse provides a graphics pipeline for AI-enhanced, real-time visualization and simulation of infrastructure digital twins, allowing engineering-grade, millimeter-accurate digital content to be visualized with photorealistic lighting and environmental effects on multiple devices, including web browsers, workstations, tablets and virtual-reality and augmented-reality headsets from anywhere in the world.
