problems related to fluid
behavior in liquid and gaseous
state. CFD analysis has a very
wide application including forces
and moments on various digital
models, pressure in pipes caused
by substances in liquid and
gaseous state that are in the
pipes, explosion analysis,
simulation of motion and flow of
different types of particles,
temperature action, weather
simulation, the behavior of digital
models in the air tunnel, etc.
• Dynamo and Python are digital
tools that are explained in detail
in the article "BIM Workflow
Automation". Here I would like to
avoid a more detailed description
of Dynamo and Python as digital
tools which, in addition to
automating the BIM project
process, have great application in
data processing in digital twin
models. If you want more
information about Dynamo and
Python, please select this link.
• Machine learning is a digital tool
that is defined as a sub-area of
artificial intelligence. Machine
learning is based on learning a
machine based on experience
and imitation of human actions in
certain repetitive circumstances.
Simply put, machine learning is
based on observing the actions
that a person performs when he
encounters a certain typical
problem. After a certain number
of repetitions, the program that
"monitors a person" learns and
adopts the algorithm of human
behavior and takes over the
execution of the same operation
that he learned by "monitoring a
person".
Given that artificial intelligence is
still not able to make very
complex decisions and see the
problems that arise with data
generated by different
simulations, I think we still can
not talk about the massive and
implied use of artificial
intelligence as a digital tool for
process simulation in digital
twins.
How To
Visualize Data
Most Efficiently?
After we have collected relevant
data, then processed them and
obtained parameters from
various calculations and results
that can help us optimize the
digital twin model, there is a need
to visualize the obtained data in a
clear and acceptable and
understandable way. It should be
borne in mind that, when we act
from the perspective of the
service provider to the client, we
must take into account that the
information we provide to the
client at meetings, where to
decide on certain changes in the
project or built facility, is easy to
understand. It often happened to
me to present data at the
meeting which, although relevant
and that would bring savings to
the client, would not be accepted
because I did not format them in
a way that is easily understood by
the client, who does not
necessarily have to be of
engineering or technical
profession. That is why, in my
opinion, data visualization is just
as important as the accuracy of
data generated by different
methodologies, because the data
must be as simple to understand
as possible.
I will give you a couple of
examples:
• During the preparation for the
meeting with the client, it was
necessary to prepare and present
data on the physical
characteristics of steel beams in
the platform model. It was
necessary to give the profile of
the steel beam, the upper
elevation of the steel beams, and
show the client all steel beams
longer than 6.0 m due to the
specific transport requirements
and the limited space for the
construction of the steel
platform. The required data
would traditionally be presented
using multiple drawings. It would
be necessary to mark the upper
elevation of each steel beam, to
tag each steel beam and
dimension the drawing of steel
beams to present the required
data in an appropriate traditional
way. But why not do something
like this - directly from the Revit
model without any drawings,
doesn't the construction model
look simpler and easier to
understand?
