Case Study on Developing Digital Twins for the Power Industry using Modulus and Omniverse
Stefan Lichtenberger, Technical Portfolio Manager, Siemens Energy
Ram Cherukuri, Senior Product Manager, NVIDIA
In this joint talk with Siemens Energy, we’ll cover building a digital twin of a heat-recovery steam generator unit by simulating the corrosive effects of heat, water, and other conditions on metal over time for predictive maintenance. Learn how the NVIDIA Modulus framework was used to create the underlying physics machine language digital twin model that’s connected, simulated, and visualized in Omniverse.
Video Streaming / Conferencing
Project Starline: A High-fidelity Telepresence System
Harris Nover, Software Engineer, Google
Jason Lawrence, Research Scientist, Google
Imagine sitting and looking through a pane of glass and there you see another person, digitally created but also so real, on the other side. This science-fiction scenario has become reality, combining a 3D representation compressed and rendered in real time, giving the sense that you are in fact present in the same place, communicating together. Harris Nover and Jason Lawrence from Google will walk you through this breakthrough technology.
