Fatigue and Failure Analysis of Aerospace Components

Dive into the analysis of fatigue and failure in aerospace components with XR-powered simulations. In virtual scenarios, students analyze crack propagation, stress concentrations, and fatigue loading on critical parts of aircraft and spacecraft. Interactive lessons allow for predicting failure points, analyzing material fatigue, and learning techniques to implement design improvements to enhance component longevity. Real-time feedback is provided on component durability, the risk of failure, and adherence to safety standards.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Simulation

Train students to perform stress, strain, and deformation analysis on mechanical components using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through immersive XR simulations. The virtual environment allows students to apply loads, constraints, and boundary conditions to 3D models of mechanical components, providing interactive lessons on stress distribution, thermal effects, vibration analysis, and material failure points. Feedback is provided on the structural integrity, safety factors, and optimization of mechanical designs to improve understanding and decision-making in engineering design processes.

Building Automation Systems (BAS) and Smart HVAC

The Building Automation Systems (BAS) and Smart HVAC Simulation equips students with skills in installing and programming BAS to control HVAC systems, lighting, and other building systems in large commercial buildings. Students will engage in virtual scenarios to set up and program BAS systems, optimize energy use, and monitor the indoor climate. Interactive exercises will involve configuring smart thermostats, sensors, and networked devices for automated temperature and airflow control. Real-time feedback will focus on system efficiency, energy consumption, and troubleshooting networked components.

Water Supply System Design and Installation

Learn to design and install water supply systems that provide clean water to buildings. This simulation offers virtual practice in designing and installing cold and hot water supply lines, selecting appropriate pipe materials like copper, PEX, or galvanized steel. It also includes connecting supply lines to fixtures, appliances, and water heaters. Real-time feedback is provided on water pressure, flow rates, and system performance.

Emergency Scenarios Simulation

Prepare users to respond effectively to surgical emergencies using XR technology to simulate high-pressure situations such as cardiac arrest, hemorrhage, or instrument malfunction. Students will receive guidance on assisting the surgical team by managing instruments, preparing blood transfusions, and adjusting equipment during critical events, with real-time feedback on decision-making and response times.

Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Systems

The Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Systems Simulation teaches students how to design, install, and maintain systems that improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation. Virtual tools are provided for installing ventilation systems, such as air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Students engage in interactive exercises where they measure and control indoor humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and particulate matter. Real-time feedback is offered on ventilation efficiency, IAQ improvement, and system maintenance.
