Configure 3D Models

The digital twin feature is available on the platform to help you visually build data models.

Uploading Digital Twin Models

1. Log in to Tier0, select Anchor > Model Library.

2. Click , select a model file, and upload it to the platform.

Mapping UNS Data to Digital Twin Models

info

There are 2 types of data mapping with 3D models.

• Static Mapping: Displays UNS data as a static tag on the scene. Often used in Gaussian Models (no movable parts but in need of data display) or static attributes of structured models (e.g., temperature of AC).
• Motion Mapping: Data mapped to the movable parts of the model, and the parts move according to the data change.

1. After uploading the model, click the model to start mapping it to UNS data.
2. Select model nodes to be mapped, and click OK.

3. Click Create Instance, select the UNS data model that controls the model animation, and then click Next.

4. Enter the Instance Name, set the Real-world Height of the model, and click Create.

Motion Mapping

Bind the UNS data to movable parts of the model.

1. On the Model Mapping tab, click , and select the axis of the model position coordinatesto be mapped.

   

2. Map the data field with the selected axis.

   

3. Do the same for Rotation Binding to determine how the model parts rotate according to the data change.

Static Mapping

Bind the UNS data with the model as a static tag.

info

Gaussian models are only available for static mapping, as they have no movable parts.

1. Click Data Tagging, and click Add Tag.

   

2. Click on the model to select the point the tag represents, and configure the tag attributes.

   

3. Set the motion tags visibility mode, and click Preview.

Viewing Digital Twin Models

1. After mapping UNS data to the model, click Generate QR Code at the upper-right corner.
2. Select Share Model, and click Generate.

3. Scan the QR code to view the digital twin model on your mobile device.

info

• When the model is added to a scene, share the scene to view the model with position, lighting and other settings.
• You can also download the code, or copy the code link for later use.

Quick Operations during Mapping

info

Node mappings are saved automatically.

On the Model Window

• Click Replace Model at the upper-right corner to replace the model while keeping the mapping settings after analysis.
• Drag the slider of Exploded View at the bottom of the model window to view the model parts.
• Click to display the model in its original state.
• Click to view the model in full screen.

On the Mapping Tab

• Click Edit Nodes at the upper-right corner to modify selected nodes.
• Click to disconnect a model node from the instance.
• Click to add payload to UNS topics for quick mapping with new data.
