“…The Inventor assembly model (.iam) was then exported as a STEP 3D CAD file (.stp) and further converted to Autodesk's proprietary Filmbox (FBX) format to ensure compatibility with the Unity workflow which involves retexturing, lighting, animation design and VR/MR integration (Ardolino et al, 2014). Figure 4 illustrates the file conversion workflow used for this particular study where Autodesk 3DMax was used as a middleware to export FBX models to Unity with pre-processed meshes and textures.…”

Digital twins (DTs) are transforming business operations across industries through accurate replication of physical entities using the Internet of Things and big data analytics. Despite booming progress in the manufacturing, aerospace and buildings sectors, the adoption of DTs in the minerals industry has been slow, and integration with efficient visualisation and user interactions has not been fully optimised to achieve maximum fidelity and usability. One promising avenue for enhancing DT capabilities is the utilisation of extended reality (XR) technologies, which also hold great potential for realising an industrial metaverse where real-world business activities can be conducted in a virtual space. This article proposes a cost-effective and scalable approach to developing a DT with real-time monitoring and control capabilities for a ball mill operation, a widely used processing equipment in the minerals industry. The case study showcases two approaches with different levels of system integration by leveraging serious game development platforms, toolkits and workflows.

“…FBX (.fbx file) is a widely supported 3D model and animation data exchange format. Because .fbx is so solid and adaptable, it will likely continue to be the most commonly used 3D export format for many years (Ardolino et al, 2014). Revit can easily export .fbx files, and Unity can import them and vice-versa.…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has unique features that improve safety management in construction by visually identifying potential risks. Integrating BIM with a real-time game engine is a cutting-edge idea for more effective safety management. This study aims to conduct two case studies by integrating BIM data with game engines from two aspects: 1) Construction Safety Training and 2) Pre-construction Safety Management. A framework that covers techniques for extraction of safety ideas, managing the game engine, and character modeling tools and resources is used to carry out the case studies. In the first case study, a construction site was created by Revit, and a real-life scaffolding failure accident was simulated by Unity to warn workers to prevent similar future events. The second case study was conducted on the procedure of evacuation modeling in an emergency, integrating a BIM model and Unity following distinct pathways. This evacuation modeling can be used as a training platform for the occupants to acquaint themselves with the inside facility, show directions of the shortest evacuation path from specific points, and provide necessary information on emergency equipment. Finally, the study explains how the integration of the BIM model and game engine applications can be applied for effective, straightforward, and helpful safety management with the most efficient BIM data transition.
