Abstract: An industrial control design and testing system allows vendor-specific digital twins of industrial robots to be imported into a vendor-agnostic simulation platform so that coordinated operation of the robots within the context of a larger automation system can be simulated and observed. Rather than requiring a designer to re-write the robot program in a format understandable by the simulation system, the design and testing system can link to instances of the vendor-specific robot simulation platforms to facilitate execution of the actual robot programs that will be installed and executed on the corresponding physical robots. This accurately simulates operation of the robots in a manner that requires less development work on the part of the designer and allows the robot's surrounding environment to be modeled and simulated more accurately than would be the case using a simulation platform specific to a particular robot vendor.

Abstract: A computer-aided design (CAD) system and corresponding method enable users to manage and share information related to a three-dimensional (3D) context of a 3D CAD model with ease. The method creates a 3D-link targeting the 3D context. The 3D-link includes a static link and a variable link. The static link re-directs to the variable link in response to a user opening the 3D-link. The variable link enables (i) the 3D CAD model to be located and opened and (ii) the 3D context to be displayed within the 3D CAD model. The method stores the 3D-link in a database. The 3D-link enables the 3D context to be shared between or among users via sharing of the 3D-link from the database. The 3D-link plays an important role in helping design engineers collaborate by eliminating the need to create pictures or copies of 3D models that may become outdated.

The inter-step information integration section (11) sets, as an MS(i+1, 0), the MS(i, tfi) received from the i-th step calculating section.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for characterizing low-permeability reservoirs by using numerical models. A numerical model modeling production of a well is prepared using reservoir data and well data. The numerical model is updated, including adjusting numerical model properties, until results of performing a quality assurance/quality control check indicate that the numerical model is within acceptable limits. Pressure derivatives are extracted from a transient test to create a functional numerical model. Simulations are run on the functional numerical model and reservoir features and properties are adjusted until acceptable results are achieved on: 1) a pressure match between pressures modeled in the functional numerical model and transient pressures of the well, and 2) a log-log plot derivative match between a pressure derivative of the functional numerical model and a pressure derivative of the transient pressures of the well.
