The context of this 3D simulator project for a tunnel boring machine
The teams at our specialized SIMPULSE Solutions entity have just successfully completed a major project for Bouygues Travaux Publics: the design, development, and delivery of a 3D simulator used to validate the automation of a tunnel boring machine well before it is put into service in the field.
Tunnel boring is a strategic process with high stakes: industrial simulation, and virtual commissioning in particular, support safe and efficient commissioning.
Customer objective: to secure and anticipate the commissioning of a tunnel boring machine
The challenges were clear:
- Reduce the risks associated with actual commissioning
- Validate the critical path of the erector process
- Work on automation and supervision in a virtual environment
- Gain flexibility and operational autonomy
Our scope of work: A tailor-made solution developed by SIMPULSE Solutions
To meet this need, our industrial simulation experts designed a tailor-made Plug’n’Test® simulator, including:
- A 3D generation module for the erector based on mechanical data
- Supervision panel software interfaced via OPC UA
- Dedicated SIMETRIC® license
- On-site training at our premises, accompanied by technical support
Bouygues Travaux Publics is now autonomous on the tool, which will be deployed in the coming weeks on the target site.
A project led by the SIMPULSE Solutions teams
SIMPULSE Solutions, our entity dedicated to industrial simulation, works on cutting-edge issues in virtual commissioning, digital twins, and automation validation.
