Virtual Reality (VR) is the most promising technology for engineering design and manufacturing. Virtual Reality speeds up design, development and planning processes in an interactive and collaborative environment, providing an unprecedented degree of 3D immersion and product understanding.

Part of ESI Group’s Virtual Product Engineering portfolio, IC.IDO provides an exceedingly powerful solution combining high-end visualization and real-time simulation of product behavior in its actual size, and allows product operation very close to reality. The solution was created between ESI industry experts and customers. By visualizing 3D data in IC.IDO, decision-makers in various industrial sectors are able to handle multi-discipline, multi-layer and multi-site capital- intensive decision processes in the best imaginable conditions.

Customers, ranging from small and mid-size companies among the manufacturing industry to the largest manufacturing organizations in the world (aerospace, automotive, defense, etc.), rely on IC.IDO to increase their competitive advantage and to enhance significantly their ability to innovate.

VIRTUAL ENGINEERING IC.IDO allows decision-makers from various industries to experience their Virtual Prototypes in a truly realistic way from the very earliest stages of design and manufacturing. The solution: • Enables frontloading, significantly reducing time to market; • Reduces costs related to design changes and schedule amendments; • Allows to validate feasibility aspects and compliance rules.

VIRTUAL BUILD • The virtual validation of assembly processes validates product design and process interplay, which reduces iterations and costly late change requirements to a minimum. • Assembly processes stored in the planning system are validated at an early time and, if necessary, can be modified, thus reducing “time to volume”. • Assembly personnel can be trained early on before production series launch, thus boosting productivity!

VIRTUAL SERVICE • Early validation and optimization of the feasibility of service and repair work. • Reduction of tooling change requests and related costs. • Shortening down times due to unnecessary and excessively long work deployments. • Savings on warranty and maintenance costs.

VIRTUAL PRODUCT PRESENTATION

• Interactive presentations of large and complex Virtual Products with customers and suppliers. • Realistic appearance and plausible behavior. • Experiencing Human to Machine Interface. • Variants and configurations can be demonstrated and validated. • Portable version allows for product presentation on trade & road shows. software: platform highlights

EFFECTIVE WORKFLOW & COLLABORATION SUPPORT • Best in class immersive User Interface (UI) • Natural & easy operation via well-known devices • Multi-user & multi-site operation • Highly flexible workflows: parameter modification at run-time

MOST ROBUST APPLICATION FOR: • Collaborative reviews • Service and repair validation • Interactive product presentation • Digital assembly and feasibility study

BEST IN CLASS SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE • Massive multi-threading • Robust cluster infrastructure • Tailored renderers available > High-end visualization > Massive data in real-time > High performance OpenGL

MOST REALISTIC INTERACTION WITH PRODUCT DATA • Real-time simulation of: > Collision, friction & gliding > Constraints & kinematics > Flexible (and plastic) objects

A Virtual Reality solution requires information on the user’s position and orientation in order to immerse him or her into the virtual world. Tracking systems provide such 6D information concerning users, input devices and mixed mock ups (seats, tools, devices). Today’s optical tracking solutions are easy to deploy and demand marginal maintenance. IC.IDO supports numerous tracking solutions available on the market.

How does Virtual Reality solution revolutionize decision-making ?

• Real-time physics simulation assures realistic behavior of virtual objects – reliable and proven. • Best in class immersive user interface lets you intuitively engage with your virtual product – no barriers. • Unique collaboration capabilities enable cooperation on the virtual model between remote sites – no limitations. • Powerful Multi-CAD and PDM support for quick process integration. • Unique massive data visualization fluently uncovers the largest data sets.
