  • Publication number: 20260105784
    Abstract: Generation of a reduced order model (ROM)-based digital twin and presentation of an equipment system, subsystem or component using augmented reality, mixed reality or virtual reality is provided. Leveraging digital twin generation, artificial intelligence and machine learning analytics, and immersive augmented reality, mixed reality or virtual reality experiences enables a more realistic virtual maintenance and training environment. A reduced order model (ROM) may be generated for each component of a work machine. After generation of an initial ROM model and/or after enhancement or tuning of the initial ROM model with real-time information, a digital twin of the work machine and its components may be generated. An augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) or virtual reality (VR) rendering may be generated from the digital twin for the work machine and for each of its included components.

  • Patent number: 11326344
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to structural panel systems, and in particular in-frame fluted panel systems. The in-frame fluted panel systems allow for improved strength and/or ductility within a reduced wall thickness by installing the fluted panels within the framing of the support members in various configurations. The in-frame fluted panel systems further allows for easier construction and lower costs than conventional systems that have fluted panels located outside of the support members.

  • Publication number: 20210357555
    Abstract: A method and system for design optimization and/or performance prediction of a material system includes generating a representation of the material system at a number of scales, the representation at a scale comprising microstructure volume elements (MVE) of building blocks of the material system at said scale; providing inputs to the MVEs; collecting data of response fields of the MVE computed from a material model of the material system over a predefined set of material properties and boundary conditions; applying machine learning to the collected data to generate clusters; computing an interaction tensor of interactions of each cluster with each of the other clusters; and solving an governing partial differential equation using the generated clusters and the computed interactions to result in a response prediction usable in an iterative scheme in a multiscale model for the material system. The performance of each scale can be predicted for design optimization.
