I want to create a digital twin of a physical prototype being created in the upcoming months. The prototype is consisting of connected flexible and rigid parts. Input forces, and output motion are to be measured as part of a test program to obtain dynamic properties. The idea is to create a digital twin in Omniverse and tweak the properties from measurements to get similar dynamic behavior.
In order to achieve this I will need to accurately set material properties and boundary conditions, and subject the twin to physical loads equal to the ones the physical prototype is subjected to. Further I would need to output the motion somehow in points of interest and export and plot these results for calibrating the model.
Do you think what I am describing is possible to do with Omniverse? What will the main challenge be?
As a test of whether Omniverse is the right tool I will be starting simple with a single flexible part. I have been watching the recent videos showcasing Omniverse Create with deformable bodies. I think this is a good starting point as the hyper flexibility seen is necessary for the prototype.
- Can I define force sequences to go into lines, faces or nodes of the mesh (how)?
- Can I output the motion of defined parts of the mesh to a file (how)? Plot it?
- Is it possible to start the setup of the assembly, materials, physics etc. in Omniverse Create and continue in Code or Isac Sim? Is this step necessary to obtain the described type of functionality?
