The NVIDIA Omniverse was initially conceived to share 3D models useful for exploring how things look. The company recently released the Omniverse Blueprint framework that speeds up physics simulations, integrates this data across tools, and visualizes the results.
A key advance is various libraries that make it easier for simulation vendors to take advantage of GPUs, map these to faster physics-informed AI surrogate models, and exchange this data via new APIs. Early adopters include leading simulation vendors such as Altair, Ansys, Beyond Math, Cadence, Hexagon, Luminary Cloud, Neural Concept, Siemens, SimScale, and Trane Technologies.
