  • Patent number: 10691847
    Abstract: Provided are devices and methods for monitoring a physical asset in real-time based on simulated data being transformed and applied to a virtual asset corresponding to the physical asset. In one example, the method includes receiving a data stream acquired from a structure of an asset being monitored, determining an accumulated damage amount to the asset based on the received information, the determining including performing an incremental rainflow counting algorithm on the received data stream from the asset being monitored, stress transfer function evaluations, and damage calculations with S-N curves, and outputting information concerning the accumulated damage amount of the asset for display on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20180203949
    Abstract: Provided are devices and methods for monitoring a physical asset in real-time based on simulated data being transformed and applied to a virtual asset corresponding to the physical asset. In one example, the method includes receiving sensor data of a physical asset, the sensor data including position information associated with a location on the physical asset, transforming the position information into virtual position information and applying the virtual position information to a virtual asset corresponding to the physical asset, detecting movement information of a virtual structure of the virtual asset based on the transformed and applied virtual position information, and outputting information concerning the detected movement information for display to a display device.

  • Publication number: 20180203959
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for monitoring a physical asset using virtual sensors sensing data of a virtual asset corresponding to the physical asset. In one example, the method includes executing a virtual model in virtual space, the virtual model including a digital model of a physical asset located in physical space and being executed based on sensor data sensed of an operation of the physical asset, determining a position of a virtual sensor on a structure of the virtual model, sensing an observable attribute of the virtual model in virtual space at the position of the virtual sensor on the structure of the virtual model, the observable attribute of the virtual model in virtual space corresponding to an actual attribute of the physical asset in physical space, and transmitting information about the virtually sensed attribute sensed via the virtual sensor to a system associated with the physical asset.
