Bridging the Gap in Real Estate with Virtual Twin Solutions

GEOVIA Urban Planning solutions allow the creation of a comprehensive virtual twin within a single platform, seamlessly integrating both open-source and private BIM data. By reconciling 2D and 3D data, converting vector data into 3D, and georeferencing 3D designs, these solutions go far beyond basic visualizations. They offer advanced spatial analysis capabilities, enabling real estate developers and planners to assess site viability, evaluate environmental impacts, and simulate various scenarios effectively.

Generating Production Scenarios

Relying on Dassault Systèmes’ Delmia production simulation tool, which can create 3D models of specific, discrete events, the company developed thousands of scenarios to visualise how equipment would move and interact under various mine designs.

Using Simulation to Complete Advanced Geotechnical Analyses

Block caving requires a very large deposit, with sufficient height and footprint area, to be cost effective. It should also ideally include certain geotechnical characteristics, such as pre-existing rock fractures to speed fragmentation and enough rock mass strength to support extraction tunnels.

Integrating Parametric Design with Mine Planning

To make integration simple, Process Composer eliminates the need for a designer to manually transfer the parameters and results from the parametric design into a mine planning package. Instead, it works with PCBC to handle the output variables of the design as input variables for the mine plan, allowing for an automated workflow throughout the entire mine planning process and between multiple applications/software.

How to Improve Block Caving Design and Planning: The Secret is Automation and Simulation

Using Dassault Systèmes’ parametric design tool, which enables mines to virtually create, update, and analyse a design within their own operating environment, the copper company’s designer used a number of different inputs to accommodate larger LHDs.

Simulate Electrostatic Discharge on a Virtual Twin

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major risk to electronic devices. ESD occurs when a static charge accumulates, for example, on a moving vehicle or the body of the user and discharges through the device. The transient voltage can cause spurious data signals or even damage or destroy components. Managing ESD is critical to ensure that the device will work safely and reliably over its lifetime and meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.

How AI can Enhance your Resource Modeling

Machine learning is a branch of AI that uses data and algorithms to learn the way humans learn: by doing a task over and over and using our experience of doing that task to become better at it.
