Abstract: In order to repair a workpiece, a requirement specification about a requirement to be met by the workpiece and a numerical simulation model for simulating a physical behavior of the workpiece are imported. Furthermore, a current shape of the workpiece is detected by means of a sensor. Where a deviation of the current shape from a target shape S of the workpiece is identified, a respective physical behavior of the workpiece in its current shape and in a shape added to by means of a 3D printer are simulated using the simulation model. Furthermore, a check is performed on the basis of the requirement specification to ascertain whether the simulated physical behavior meets the requirement. Depending on the outcome of the check, the workpiece is then either left in its current shape, added to by the 3D printer or discarded.

Abstract: To control a technical system having multiple system components, multiple functional modules access a common data model. The functional modules in this case include an interface module, a simulation module and an output module. The data model includes data components associated with the system components and simulation model data for a simulation model of the technical system. The functional modules are actuated by a flow controller, wherein the flow controller and a respective functional module have functional-module-specific selection data transmitted between them that the respective functional module takes as a basis for accessing model data of the data model. The interface module continually captures operating data of the technical system and stores them in the data model by means of selection-data-specific access.

Abstract: A method, device and assistance system for detecting leaks in an area of a supply network, wherein leaks are detected by comparing real measured values supplied by sensors with measured values ascertained using a Monte Carlo simulation and, in particular, the method ascertains irregularities, which can be attributed to anomalies such as leaks, based on a hydraulic analysis so that existing leaks can be detected. Furthermore, the method can be applied to sensors that are temporarily installed in the network, giving the network operator additional freedom in the leak detection, and can be used for other supply networks and infrastructures.
