Creating a Digital Twin with Heatmaps Visualization

Hello,

I'm new to Autodesk tools and currently have access to the following:

  • Revit 2024
  • BIM 360 (30-day trial)
  • Autodesk Build

My goal is to create a digital twin of a 3D model and visualize real-time (or simulated) data as heatmaps for the following parameters:

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Light intensity

From my initial research, it seems like I'll need to utilize DataViz and Forge Viewer (Viewer SDK). However, I'm unsure about the specific workflow and software requirements.

My Questions:

  1. Software: Which Autodesk tools are essential for achieving this type of heatmap visualization within my existing setup? Are there any additional tools I might need?
  2. Process: Could you please provide a high-level overview of the steps involved in:
    • Preparing data (what formats are supported?)
    • Integrating sensor data or simulation results
    • Creating the heatmap visualization in Forge Viewer specifically using DataViz
  3. Compatibility: Are there specific compatibility considerations I should be aware of with my BIM 360 trial version?
  4. Forge Viewer and DataViz: How can I effectively use the Forge Viewer and access the DataViz extension to achieve my heatmap visualization goals?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, tutorials, or even links to relevant documentation. I'm excited to start this project, and your help in understanding th

I’ve never seen the work product but I think it’s a good idea because many real world plants aren’t operating at max or according to design curves. Plant personnel (and management) only know those reference numbers. Every process isn’t a linear trend so if the twin captures that and points out deficiencies at various operating levels I think it would be great.
