PITTSBURGH, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Key Highlights
- Rockwell Automation's latest release of Studio 5000
Simulation Interface now connects to Ansys Twin Builder
- The expanded connectivity enables engineering teams to
implement simulation-based digital twins, unlocking an extensive
range of insights that can improve system design, performance and
maintenance
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) and Rockwell Automation are expanding
digital twin connectivity to industrial control systems, enabling
users to optimize the design, deployment, and performance of
industrial operations. By implementing simulation-based digital
twins, engineering teams can garner new insights that speed
innovation and reduce costs from the design phase to the production
phase.
Rockwell Automation's latest release of Studio 5000 Simulation
Interface now connects with Ansys Twin Builder, allowing
automation and process engineers to leverage simulation-based
digital twins. Users can create and test designs in a virtual
space, saving the time and money associated with costly physical
prototypes. The digital domain can also be used to test process
changes before being implemented in the field, which can boost
throughput and other performance aspects.
Predictive maintenance represents another significant benefit of
simulation-based digital twins. Ansys Twin Builder empowers users
with multiphysics analysis to understand how forces like flow
rates, mechanical stresses and thermal profiles impact in-field
assets. Engineers can use these insights to calculate the remaining
life of equipment and plan for maintenance, reducing the chance of
costly unplanned downtime.
"By connecting a control system to Ansys Twin Builder, users can
simulate complex physical processes and give realistic inputs to
the control system," said Julie
Robinson, business manager, Rockwell Automation. "This can
provide tremendous insights throughout the equipment lifecycle. For
example, running a simulation model in parallel to a physical
system during production can reveal opportunities to optimize
performance in real time."
With the enhanced Studio 5000 Simulation Interface and Ansys
Twin Builder, users can connect digital twins to emulated or
physical controllers. Connecting to an emulated controller can help
users optimize production at the design stage, while connecting to
a physical controller allows them to compare optimal equipment
performance against actual performance.
"Connecting the digital and physical worlds with Studio 5000
Simulation Interface creates tremendous value for users," said
Shane Emswiler, senior vice
president of products, Ansys. "It can help them go from conceptual
designs to physical equipment faster and at a lower cost. It can
provide useful new insights during production. For instance, users
can apply what-if scenarios to understand the impact of changes on
a process. They can create virtual sensors to estimate values that
are otherwise too expensive or not possible to get today, and they
can predict outcomes like failures that hurt the bottom line."
