The ipo Omniverse Connector provides access to NVIDIA's Omniverse - a platform for data sharing and real-time collaboration in the creation and editing of 3D simulations on the same database.
To use the ipo Omniverse Connector, first select the “Omniverse” icon in the module bar:
Overview
| 1 | Publish to Omniverse uploads the data selected in [5] to the nucleus selected in [4]. |
| 2 | Select Publish on Save to automatically synchronize the current data state with the selected nucleus when saving in ipolog. |
| 3 | You can use Pull from Omniverse to download the data selected in [6] from the Nucleus to your ipolog planning area. |
| 4 | In the Settings, you can connect to your Omniverse account or manually enter the server address and system paths to communicate with a Nucleus server. You can also define settings such as the level of detail here. |
| 5 | In the Publish links, you can set paths under which you organize the data to be uploaded to the Omniverse. This data comes from ipolog and includes, for example, your material areas, racks and boxes. |
| 6 | In the Geolinks, you can set paths from which data is to be downloaded from the Omniverse. This data comes from the Omniverse and includes, for example, 3D data or metadata such as the position of a rack. |
On [4] Settings:
| 1 | Enter the address of the Nucleus server you wish to connect to here. |
| 2 | Here you can configure the data path in which your ipolog project data should be stored on the Nucleus. |
| 3 | Here you can configure the data path in which your ipolog catalog data (racks and boxes) should be stored on the Nucleus. |
| 4 | Here you can configure the data path in which your ipolog product data should be stored on the Nucleus. |
| 5 | Here you can limit the level of detail to improve performance. |
| 6 |
You can use "login" to connect to your Omniverse account and access previously saved data. "Switch to normal user" grants you the standard authorizations, depending on how these are regulated in your account. |
| 7 |
After adjusting the settings, you can save these changes with “write”. A file will then be created in your ipolog folder: “omniverse.ini”. You can also use this file to make changes, which are written back to ipolog with “read”. “create default topology” creates a standard link to the connected nucleus. This can be further specified in the Omniverse. “import products” can be used to manually import products from the Omniverse that are on your PC into your project. “export products” exports products from your ipolog project to your PC as a .usd file. |
On [5] Publish Links:
1. Edit name
You can customize the name of the publish link using the “...”-symbol.
2. Area and POI selection
You can use the area selection to determine which data should be synchronized with the Omniverse nucleus. All types of areas (material areas, blocking areas and conveyor areas) can be selected. All elements located on the area - i.e. racks, boxes, facilities and their metadata - are transferred. Info points and working points can also be synchronized.
If you select an area in the 3D view, it is also selected in the list - the area that has been clicked on in the list is also highlighted darker (such as the area at the bottom right in the example). If you select an area using the checkbox, it is highlighted in yellow in the 3D view.
You can select all areas at the same time using the “all Areas” button. “no Area” deselects all selected areas again.
3. Copy path to clipboard
Copies the path to the .usd file in which your synchronized elements are stored to the clipboard.
4. Activate / deactivate
Activates or deactivates the corresponding publish link. This allows you to organize your uploads and share or not share data with the Omniverse as required.
5. Add / delete publish link
Adds a new upload link. This allows you to upload only the required part of the data available in your project. Select the “x”-symbol below to delete a publish link.
