Abstract:
Embodiments provide functionality for generating finite element models (FEMs). An embodiment begins by obtaining a computer-aided design (CAD) model representing an assembly of parts and an indication of a symmetry plane within the CAD model. From amongst the assembly of parts, a source part and a corresponding mirror part are identified using the obtained CAD model and the indication of the symmetry plane. In turn, the source part is meshed to generate a FEM representing the source part and the FEM representing the source part is mirrored to generate a FEM representing the mirror part.
Abstract:
Techniques for simulating fluid flow on a computer that involve a stable entropy solver are described. The techniques include simulating activity of a fluid across a mesh, the activity of the fluid being simulated so as to model movement of particles across the mesh, storing, in a computer accessible memory, a set of state vectors for each mesh location in the mesh, each of the state vectors comprising a plurality of entries that correspond to particular momentum states of possible momentum states at a corresponding mesh location, simulating a time evolution of entropy of the flow by collecting incoming set of distributions from neighboring mesh locations for the collision operation, calculating by the computer scalar values in each location, determining outgoing distributions as a product of the collision operation and addition of a heat source, and modifying the flow by the computer performing for a time interval, an advection of the particles to subsequent mesh locations.
Abstract:
Embodiments determine properties of a molecule in an environment. One such embodiment constructs one or more three-dimensional (3D) structure models that indicate positions of atoms of the molecule. For each of the constructed one or more 3D structure models: (i) a surface model is generated that represents the environment, where the surface model includes a plurality of segments and the generated surface model defines a relationship between the indicated positions of the atoms of the 3D structure model and the plurality of segments and (ii) using a machine learning model, charge (e.g., electric charge) and chemical potential of each segment of the plurality of segments are predicted based on the 3D structure model and the generated surface model. An embodiment further predicts, using a supplemental machine learning model, energy corresponding to the 3D structure model based on the 3D structure model and the generated surface model.

Abstract:
An automated system and method to investigate degradation of cathode materials in batteries via atomistic simulations, and in particular by simulating the creation of atomistic defects in the cathode material, which occurs during charge cycling. A systematic procedure relates the degradation of battery performance metrics to underlying structural changes due to atomic rearrangements within the material, for example through density functional theory simulations. The performance metrics modeled with this approach include the Open Cell Voltage (OCV) as well as the discharge capacity curve.
Abstract:
Computer systems and methods that identify and assess risk in a supply chain network. The systems and methods create a visual model of a supply chain network, which includes: (i) logical stations graphically representing the physical sites in the supply chain network, and (ii) logical transits graphically representing the transportation of materials between the represented physical sites. For each given logical station, the systems and methods identify risk values for risk categories associated with the physical site. The systems and methods identify the risk values based on physical conditions related to: (a) the physical site represented by the given logical station, (b) each physical site represented by a logical station positioned in a downstream supply chain path to the given logical station, and (c) each transportation represented by a logical transit positioned in the downstream supply chain path. The systems and methods generate dynamic graphical indications comparing the identified risk values for the risk categories and total risk values for the represented physical sites and transportations.
Abstract:
Traditionally, PLM systems and SCM systems have not been linked. In an embodiment, a computer method includes, responsive to a user request to transfer a module from a source code management (SCM) system to a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, extracting, from a processor at the SCM system, data representing modules, versions of the modules, and hierarchical relationships of the modules from a data source of the SCM system. The method further includes creating a PLM system module having the extracted data representing the modules, versions of the modules, and the hierarchical relationships of the modules. Therefore, the SCM system can export a module to the PLM system in a process controlled at the SCM system.

A method and a system for cross-domain enterprise collaborative decision support within an enterprise are provided. The method includes receiving a set of information from an asset component through an embedded cell for analytics (ECA) and analyzing the set of information in real-time using a generative algorithm in a traveling intelligent cell (TIC), the TIC including at least one of a generic equipment and process data set, a specific equipment and process data set, and a dynamic deployment data set. The method also includes measuring asset component performance using the set of information and a key performance indictor (KPI) engine, comparing end results of the measured asset component performance to respective quality specification data using a data mining engine, determining a probability that a process parameter affected the measured asset component performance, and presenting a visualization of a correlated analysis to one or more subscribed users.
Abstract:
Embodiments determine wear. One such embodiment obtains, in memory associated with a processor, a finite element mesh representing a first object. For a given node of the obtained mesh, a wear variable is associated and linked to contact constraints associated with the node. A simulation of contact is performed, over movement increments, between the first object and a second object to determine wear at the node. Wear distance is iteratively determined for a given increment using the mesh, the associated variable, and the constraints. A position of the node in the mesh is iteratively updated based on the determined wear distance for the given increment, until the wear distance for each of the increments is determined. The wear at the node is determined based on the determined wear distance for each of the increments. An indication of the determined wear is output.
