In this paper, we propose a GPU-based method for real-time processing of dynamic re-meshing required for tearing cloth. Thin shell materials are used in various fields such as physics-based simulation/animation, games, and virtual reality. Tearing the fabric requires dynamically updating the geometry and connectivity, making the process complex and computationally intensive. This process needs to be fast, especially when dealing with interactive content. Most methods perform re-meshing through low-resolution simulations to maintain real-time, or rely on an already segmented pattern, which is not considered dynamic re-meshing, and the quality of the torn pattern is low. In this paper, we propose a new GPU-optimized dynamic re-meshing algorithm that enables real-time processing of high-resolution fabric tears. The method proposed in this paper can be used for virtual surgical simulation and physics-based modeling in games and virtual environments that require real-time, as it allows dynamic re-meshing rather than pre-split meshes.

Building simulation is used in a variety of sectors. In its early years, building simulation was mainly used in the design phase of a building for basic functions. Recently, however, it has become increasingly important during the operating phase, for commissioning and facility management. Most building simulation tools are used to estimate the thermal environment and energy consumption performance, and hence, they require the inputting of hourly weather data. A building simulation used for prediction should take into account the use of standard weather data. Weather data, which is used as input for a building simulation, plays a crucial role in the prediction performance, and hence, the selection of appropriate weather data is considered highly important. The present study proposed a technique for generating real-time weather data files, as opposed to the standard weather data files, which are required for running the building simulation. The forecasted weather elements provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the elements produced by the calculations, those utilizing the built-in functions of Energy Plus, and those that use standard values are combined for hourly input. The real-time weather data files generated using the technique proposed in the present study have been validated to compare with measured data and simulated data via EnergyPlus. The results of the present study are expected to increase the prediction accuracy of building control simulation results in the future.

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is a promising cyber-physical technique used in the experimental evaluation of civil infrastructure systems subject to dynamic loading. In RTHS, the response of a structural system is simulated by partitioning it into physical and numerical substructures, and coupling at the interface is achieved by enforcing equilibrium and compatibility in real-time. The choice of partitioning parameters will influence the overall success of the experiment. In addition, due to the dynamics of the transfer system, communication and computation delays, the feedback force signals are dependent on the system state subject to delay. Thus, the transfer system dynamics must be accommodated by appropriate actuator controllers. In light of this, guidelines should be established to facilitate successful RTHS and clearly specify: (i) the minimum requirements of the transfer system control, (ii) the minimum required sampling frequency, and (iii) the most effective ways to stabilize an unstable simulation due to the limitations of the available transfer system. The objective of this paper is to establish a stability switch criterion due to systematic experimental errors. The RTHS stability switch criterion will provide a basis for the partitioning and design of successful RTHS.

This paper presents a digital hardware implementation of a real-time simulator for a multiphase drive using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device. The simulator was developed with a modular and hierarchical design using very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL). Hence, this simulator is flexible and portable. A state-space representation model suitable for FPGA implementations was proposed for a dual three-phase induction machine (DTPIM). The simulator also models a two-level 12-pulse insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based voltage-source converter (VSC), a pulse-width modulation scheme, and a measurement system. Real-time simulation outputs (stator currents and rotor speed) were validated under steady-state and transient conditions using as reference an experimental test bench based on a DTPIM with 15 kW-rated power. The accuracy of the proposed digital hardware implementation was evaluated according to the simulation and experimental results. Finally, statistical performance parameters were provided to analyze the efficiency of the proposed DTPIM hardware implementation method.

Garment design needs an iterative manipulation of 2D patterns to generate a final sloper. Traditionally there have been two kinds of design methodologies such as the flat pattern method and the pattern draping method. But today, it is possible to combine the advantages from the two methods due to the realistic cloth simulation techniques. We devised a new garment design system which starts from 3D initial drape simulation result and then modifies the garment by editing the 2D flat patterns synchronously. With this interactive methodology using real-time pattern deformation technique, the designer can freely change a pattern shape by watching its 3D outlook in real-time. Also the final garment data were given relative coordinates with respect to the human anthropometric feature points detected by an automatic body feature detection algorithm. Using the relative human body coordinate system, the final garments can be re-used to an arbitrary body data without repositioning in the drape simulation. A female shirt was used for an example and a 3D body scan data was used for an illustration of the feature point detection algorithm.

High temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable is expected to be used for power transmission lines supplying electric power for densely populated cities in the near future. Since HTS power cable is capable of the high current density delivery with low power loss, the cable size can be compact comparing with the conventional cable whose capacity is same. In this paper, the authors propose the real time simulation method which puts a teal HTS wire into the simulated 22.9 kV utility grid system using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). For the simulation analysis, test sample of HTS wire was actually manufactured. And the transient phenomenon of the HTS wire was analyzed in the simulated utility power grid. This simulation method is the world first trial in order to obtain much better data for installation of HTS power device into utility network.

To develop highly dependable CPS, M&S(modeling and simulation) is very important. It is not easy to model any CPS whole system in a single simulation tool because each simulation tool is optimized for modeling each different part of the CPS. The FMI is the standard for M&S between different simulation tools. The DDS is a communication middleware suitable for large-scale real-time data transmission. In this paper, we proposed FMI based CPS real-time distributed simulaton framework using DDS. To evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, we performed distributed simulation using IEEE HLA/RTI and OMG DDS middleware and measured and compared the execution time of the entire simulation. From the simulation results, we can confirm that the simulation execution time using DDS is at least 1.14 times faster compared to execution time using HLA/RTI.

The thermal-hydraulic model ARTS which was based on the RETRAN-3D code adopted in the domestic full-scope power plant simulator which was provided in 1998 by KEPRI. Since ARTS is a generalized code to model the components with control volumes, the smaller time-step size should be used even if converged solution could not get in a single volume. Therefore, dedicated models which do not force to reduce the time-step size are sometimes more suitable in terms of a real-time calculation and robustness. In the case of PRT(Pressurizer Relief Tank) model, it is consist of subcooled water in bottom and non-condensable gas in top. The sparger merged under subcooled water enhances condensation. The complicated thermal-hydraulic phenomena such as condensation, phase separation with existence of non-condensable gas makes difficult to simulate. Therefore, the PRT volume can limit the time-step size if we model it with a general control volume. To prevent the time-step size reduction due to convergence failure for simulating this component, we developed a dedicated model for PRT. The dedicated model was expected to provide substantially more accurate predictions in the analysis of the system transients. The results were resonable in terms of accuracy, real-time simulation, robustness and education of operators, complying with the ANSI/ANS-3.5-1998 simulator software performance criteria and RETRAN-3D results.

Real-time applications in a wireless sensor network environment require real-time transmissions from sensing nodes to sink nodes. Existing congestion control mechanisms have treated congestion problems in sensor networks, but they only adjust the reporting frequency or the sending rate in intermediate nodes. They were not suitable for real-time applications from the transmission delays point of view. In this paper, we suggest a new mechanism that can reduce the transmission delay and can increase the throughput for real-time applications in sensor network. This mechanism classifies data on the real-time characteristics, processes the data maintaining the real-time characteristics prior to the other data such as the non real-time data or the data lost the real-time characteristics. A modified frame format is also proposed in order to apply the mechanism to IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer. The simulation based on ns-2 is accomplished in order to verify the performance of the suggested scheme from transmission delay and throughput standpoints. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance specifically when It applies to the real-time applications in sensor networks.

In general, real power system is not stopped for reason of its test. And then we have no way to verify its reliability on real power system. In this paper we present the real time simulation technique of the APRS(Automatic Power Reconfiguration System) before it is applied in real power system. We used the Real Time Digital Simulator constructed in KEPRL And we applied the power system model which is reduced because of RTDS capacity. Also, We prescent the method Interface between target system(APRS) and RTDS. Last, We provide the test results and the meaning.
