Bentley Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY) recently announced that it is developing applications using the NVIDIA Omniverse platform for photorealistic, real-time visualisation and simulation of digital twins of massive-scale industrial and civil infrastructure projects.Bentley Systems has extended the Bentley iTwin platform to integrate with NVIDIA Omniverse to provide a graphics pipeline for AI-enhanced, real-time visualisation, and simulation of infrastructure digital twins. Bentley iTwin is an open, scalable cloud platform used by engineering firms and owner-operators to create, visualise and analyse digital twins of infrastructure assets. It is also used by digital information managers to incorporate engineering data created by diverse design tools into a living digital twin and align it with reality data, IoT data, and other associated data without disrupting current tools or processes.This integration will allow engineering-grade, millimetre-accurate digital content to be visualised 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. “The collaboration of Bentley iTwin and NVIDIA Omniverse is delivering real-time, immersive 3D and 4D experiences that will enable true-to-reality, physics-based simulation of even the largest and most complex infrastructure assets,” says Greg Bentley, CEO, Bentley Systems. “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.”The integration of the capabilities of the Bentley iTwin platform and NVIDIA Omniverse will enable users to virtually explore massive industrial plants and offshore structures as if they are walking through the infrastructure in real time, for purposes such as wayfinding and safety route optimisation.
