Bentley Systems says it has extended its iTwin platform to integrate with NVIDIA Omniverse to provide a graphics pipeline for AI-enhanced, real-time visualization and simulation of infrastructure digital twins.
Bentley Systems iTwin takes engineering data created by design tools to create a living digital twin aligned with reality data, IoT data and other associated data. The integration of iTwin into NVIDIA Omniverse will allow engineering-grade, millimeter-accurate digital content to be visualized with photorealistic lighting and environmental effects.
“Visualization and simulation underpin many of the use cases for infrastructure digital twins. The collaboration of Bentley iTwin and NVIDIA Omniverse is delivering real-time, immersive 3D/4D experiences that will enable true-to-reality, physics-based simulation of even the largest and most complex infrastructure assets,” said Bentley Systems CEO Greg Bentley. “GPU-computing is transforming the world of engineering and construction and promises to unleash the potential of AI for simulation and advanced analytics in infrastructure digital twins.”
Huang added NVIDIA Omniverse was developed to deliver shared virtual works to simulate physical and photo realism.
“Modern infrastructure are magnificent feats of engineering. NVIDIA and Bentley share a vision of physically based digital twins – so accurate and realistically simulated that they will revolutionize everything from infrastructure design to operations,” said Huang.
