FactVerse Designer
Create the industrial context every downstream workflow can reuse
Build reusable operational digital-twin scenes, layouts, behavior, timeline scenarios, and SimReady assets for planning, operations, simulation, and Physical AI workflows.
Key Capabilities
Connect data, workflows, and field execution so teams can understand context, act faster, and keep work traceable.
- Visual scene authoring
Organize BIM, CAD, point-cloud, and 3D assets into facility, production, logistics, and infrastructure scenes through a visual workflow.
- Behavior and process logic
Use behavior trees to define equipment states, operating sequences, conditions, actions, handoffs, and recovery paths.
- Data-connected context
Bind selected sensor values, production signals, and enterprise data to assets through Data Fusion Services.
- Timeline and scenario comparison
Compare layouts, routes, timing, resources, process states, and operating variants before a change reaches the physical environment.
- SimReady scene preparation
Prepare stable coordinates, asset identity, semantics, behavior, and simulation assumptions for OpenUSD, Omniverse, and Physical AI projects.
- Governed publishing
Publish approved scenes for Inspector, DataMesh One, web experiences, simulation projects, and other FactVerse workflows.
Use Cases
Practical applications and proven success scenarios across industries.
Process and operating-scenario authoring
Model equipment states, work sequences, operating procedures, exceptions, and recovery logic for review, preparation, and training.
Virtual planning and SimReady preparation
Compare layouts and process variants, then prepare selected scenes and assets for project-enabled physics or robotics workflows.
Build the context before the next physical change
Industrial planning often starts with source models spread across BIM, CAD, point clouds, equipment libraries, spreadsheets, and operational systems. Each downstream team then rebuilds enough context for its own review, visualization, simulation, or field workflow.
FactVerse Designer turns those inputs into a reusable digital-twin scene. Assets receive stable identity, spatial relationships, behavior, process state, timeline logic, and selected data bindings so engineering and operations can work from the same environment.
Core workflow
Import and organize
Bring facility, line, cell, equipment, and site assets into a consistent coordinate and hierarchy structure. Organize spaces, systems, routes, work areas, and asset relationships for the decision in scope.
Define semantics and behavior
Add equipment states, behavior trees, conditions, actions, sequences, handoffs, and exception paths. The scene begins to express how the environment operates as well as how it looks.
Connect selected data
Use Data Fusion Services to bind relevant sensor, production, building, maintenance, or enterprise data to assets and scenarios. The project selects the data needed for the operating or planning question.
Compare scenarios
Review layout, flow, route, timing, resource, process-state, and operating variants. Current Designer workflows support visual planning, timeline scenarios, discrete-event comparison, and process-flow review.
Publish governed context
Release approved scenes to Inspector, DataMesh One, web experiences, and project-enabled simulation or Physical AI workflows while retaining asset identity and scenario assumptions.
Prepare for deeper simulation when the decision requires it
Designer provides the authoring foundation for Process Simulation and Virtual Planning. It prepares geometry, layout, process logic, scenario variants, stable coordinates, semantics, and SimReady asset context.
Project-enabled workflows can extend selected scenarios into reduced-order airflow, GPU airflow, thermal-fluid, rigid-body, Isaac, PhysX, or Newton-oriented analysis. Each project defines the runtime, model inputs, calibration level, comparison metrics, and engineering review path according to the decision being made.
Supported platforms

Designer and Director support different workflows
| Designer | Director | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary outcome | Reusable operational digital-twin environment | Repeatable 3D procedure, training, or guided work content |
| Core authoring | Scene, layout, asset identity, behavior, timeline, and scenario | Steps, interactions, media, assessment, and learner guidance |
| Data context | Can connect selected operating data through Data Fusion Services | Usually self-contained around the procedure or training content |
| Downstream use | Operations, planning, simulation, and Physical AI preparation | Training, SOP delivery, guided work, and frontline enablement |
Role across creation, simulation, and operation
Designer starts the workflow by creating the governed scene and scenario context. Project-selected simulation runtimes analyze questions that need deeper physics. FactVerse AI Agent can interpret approved operating and simulation evidence, while Inspector carries reviewed actions into asset, inspection, maintenance, work-order, and field-evidence workflows.
Start with one representative environment
A focused evaluation begins with one facility area, production cell, process, or upcoming physical change. DataMesh and the customer define the source assets, operating context, scenarios, comparison criteria, downstream users, and any project-enabled simulation requirements before expanding the model.
Frequently Asked Questions
What role does FactVerse Designer play?
Designer creates and governs the spatial and operational context used by downstream digital-twin workflows. It owns scene composition, layout, asset identity, behavior logic, timeline scenarios, and preparation for simulation and Physical AI projects.
How is Designer different from Director?
Designer builds operational digital-twin environments and scenarios. Director, delivered through DataMesh Studio and DataMesh One, creates step-by-step 3D procedures, training, and guided work content.
How does Designer support physical simulation?
Designer prepares the scene, process logic, variants, and SimReady asset context. Current workflows support layout, timeline, discrete-event, and process-flow comparison. Project-enabled solvers and NVIDIA runtimes add airflow, thermal-fluid, rigid-body, or robotics analysis when required.
Can Designer use operational data?
Yes. Data Fusion Services can connect selected sensor, equipment, production, building, and enterprise data to scene objects and operating scenarios according to the deployment scope.
