How digital twins physics get faster and more connected
The NVIDIA Omniverse was initially conceived to share 3D models useful for exploring how things look. The company recently released the Omniverse Blueprint framework that speeds up physics simulations, integrates this data across tools, and visualizes the results. A key advance is various libraries that make it easier for simulation vendors to take advantage of GPUs, map these to faster physics-informed AI surrogate models, and exchange this data via new APIs. Early adopters include leading simulation vendors such as Altair, Ansys, Beyond Math, Cadence, Hexagon, Luminary Cloud, Neural Concept, Siemens, SimScale, and Trane Technologies. These vendors are seeing significant improvements in various types of simulation using the new approach. Ansys reports shrinking a complex automotive simulation from nearly a month to six hours. Cadence has reported a 40X speedup in semiconductor design, 1000X speedup in molecular simulation and 20X speedup in data center design simulation. I caught up with Juan Alonso, CTO & Co-founder of Luminary Cloud, which has pioneered new simulation techniques to take advantage of GPUs from the ground up. Diginomica previously covered their work last March, where he argued that legacy simulation vendors have traditionally grown by cobbling together point solutions that would be hard to refactor to take advantage of new GPU architectures and cloud infrastructure. Alonso said the biggest change was the new APIs, such as NVIDIA Modulus for physics-based AI/ML, which can be used as building blocks to generate more complex, GPU-optimized workflows. He also expects additional modules in the future to broaden the Omniverse ecosystem. Luminary was already a pioneer in GPU-accelerated engineering analysis for uploading geometry, generating meshes for simulation, and visualization. Alonso is excited about the new GPU-accelerated libraries that will make building faster simulation models for digital twins, optimization, and real-time design exploration easier. Also, engineers will be able to take advantage of cloud services using a laptop that allows all of the data to be accessible to anyone at a company. This will also improve collaboration and workflows requiring data sets composed of ensembles of simulations for surrogate modeling and design optimization. Alonso says: We argue that, without the cloud-native nature of the simulation platform, collecting, curating, and storing all the data is impossible or cumbersome...thus impeding the deployment of advanced workflows that engineers need to do their jobs in the current environment. Extending this collaboration and integration across multiple tools will require different vendors to adopt or support standards like USD for data representation and visualization. Alonso cautions that it's more complex than simply adding a USD translation tier since improving interoperability will also depend on the level of maturity of support for the new approaches. To the extent that vendors succeed, it will make it easier for developers to integrate capabilities from various vendors into workflows that impact automotive, aerospace, industrial processes, consumer goods, renewable energy, and medical device applications using similar building blocks. Alonso predicts: As NVIDIA and multiple vendors make their capabilities available via the Blueprint (using NVIDIA-supported standards), not only will vendors be able to instantiate more complex workflows (and customize them to the users' needs), but GPU acceleration in all stages of the engineering workflows will become pervasive. Such a potential future supports the Luminary vision for real-time engineering, giving users actionable information to improve their designs in an interactive fashion. For example, the appropriate interfaces will make it easier to support loosely coupled multi-physics applications for exploring changes across two physical domains, such as fluid and structure, radiation and convection, or airflow and acoustics. However, Alonso believes that more tightly coupled models will require vendors to refactor their existing tools to take advantage of GPU acceleration. These enhancements also could improve various aspects of product lifecycle management (PLM) across the enterprise. These recent improvements are an important step for creating more competent digital twins that keep different stakeholders and types of experts on the same page. In this context, Alonso thinks of a digital twin as a bespoke combination of simulation models and field/experimental data that can be used to create improved models of a particular engineering system under operation, such as a jet engine on the wing of a plane. Alonso believes that the biggest bottleneck is the inability of most companies to appropriately collect, curate, and store the field/experimental data with all the associated metadata so that it can easily be incorporated into the digital twin workflow. Cloud native environments could help improve the technical infrastructure to generate, store, and curate the simulation data and combine it with the field data. He explains: The only work that needs to be done is to create the ability to ingest and store field/experimental data ... so that it can then be used to train and improve the training of existing models for a particular engineering system that would have normally been based on simulation data alone. In the short run, NVIDIA's new updates are an important step in applying physics simulations to develop more efficient, performant, and cost-effective products and physical infrastructure. Down the road, it will also simplify the development of new AI techniques, like active inference, that consider how a system interacts with the world rather than just the words people have written about the world, as with large language models. However, innovations on both fronts will face numerous challenges. For starters, legacy vendors may benefit from limiting integration that allows customers to mix and match tools from competitors with their own. Digital twin pioneers Dr. Michael Grieve and John Vickers have also argued that enterprises will need to overcome cultural barriers to integrate workflows across various teams. Enterprises will also need to improve their data management practices to take advantage of these innovations more broadly.

Nvidia unveils Omniverse real-time physics digital twins
Nvidia announced its Nvidia Omniverse Blueprint, a technology that enables industry software developers to build digital twins with realistic real-time physics. It enables computer-aided engineering (CAE) customers in aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, energy and other industries create digital twins with real-time interactivity. One example of that is the virtual wind tunnel that car designers can use to simulate wind moving over a simulated car. Nvidia made the announcements at the SC24 supercomputer event. Software developers such as Altair, Ansys, Cadence and Siemens can use the reference workflow, which includes Nvidia acceleration libraries, physics-AI frameworks and interactive physically based rendering, to achieve 1,200x faster simulations and real-time visualization. This helps their customers drive down development costs and energy usage while getting to market faster. "We built Omniverse so that everything can have a digital twin," said Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, in a statement. "Omniverse Blueprints are reference pipelines that connect NVIDIA Omniverse with AI technologies, enabling leading CAE software developers to build groundbreaking digital twin workflows that will transform industrial digitalization, from design and manufacturing to operations, for the world's largest industries." One of the first applications of the blueprint is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, a critical step to virtually explore, test and refine the designs of cars, airplanes, ships and many other products. Traditional engineering workflows -- from physics simulation to visualization and design optimization -- can take weeks or even months to complete. In an industry first, Nvidia and Luminary Cloud are demonstrating at SC24 a virtual wind tunnel that allows users to simulate and visualize fluid dynamics at real-time, interactive speeds, even when changing the vehicle model inside the tunnel. Unifying three pillars of Nvidia dev tech Building a real-time physics digital twin requires two fundamental capabilities: real time physics solver performance and real-time visualization of large-scale datasets. The Omniverse Blueprint achieves these by bringing together Nvidia CUDA-X libraries to accelerate the solvers, the Nvidia Modulus physics-AI framework to train and deploy models to generate flow fields, and Nvidia Omniverse application programming interfaces for 3D data interoperability and real-time RTX-enabled visualization. Developers can integrate the blueprint as individual elements or in its entirety into their existing tools. Ansys is the first customer to adopt the Omniverse Blueprint, applying it to Ansys Fluent fluid simulation software to enable accelerated computational fluid dynamics simulation. Ansys ran Fluent at the Texas Advanced Computing Center on 320 Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper superchips. A 2.5-billion-cell automotive simulation was completed in just over six hours. That would have taken nearly a month running on 2,048 x86 CPU cores, significantly enhancing the feasibility of overnight high-fidelity CFD analyses and establishing a new industry benchmark. "By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint with Ansys software, we're enabling our customers to tackle increasingly complex and detailed simulations more quickly and accurately," said Ajei Gopal, CEO of Ansys, in a statement. "Our collaboration is pushing the boundaries of engineering and design across multiple industries." Luminary Cloud is also adopting the blueprint. The company's new simulation AI model, built on Nvidia Modulus, learned the relationships between airflow fields and car geometry based on training data generated from its GPU-accelerated CFD solver. The model runs simulations orders of magnitude faster than the solver itself, enabling real-time aerodynamic flow simulation that is visualized using Omniverse APIs. Altair, Beyond Math, Cadence, Hexagon, Neural Concept, Siemens, SimScale and Trane Technologies are also exploring adoption of the Omniverse Blueprint into their own applications. The Omniverse Blueprint can be run on all leading cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. It is also available on Nvidia DGX Cloud. Rescale, a cloud-based platform that helps organizations accelerate scientific and engineering breakthroughs, is using the Nvidia Omniverse Blueprint to enable organizations to train and deploy custom AI models in just a few clicks. The Rescale platform automates the full application-to-hardware stack and can be run across any cloud service provider. Organizations can generate training data using any simulation solver; prepare, train and deploy the AI models; run inference predictions; and visualize and optimize models. Companies interested in learning more about the Nvidia Omniverse Blueprint for real-time computer-aided engineering digital twins can sign up for early access.
