A section of 6 full-time technicians was simulating compressor-piping interaction using a huge number of electronic components (capacitors, inductors, etc.) to predict where acoustical resonances could cause structural failures. This labor-intensive technique took a team of two people two weeks to assemble the model, run the initial simulation, revise the model, run the revised simulations, disassemble the model, and manually prepare a report.

By digitizing the entire process, it now takes a single person two days to complete a job with multiple revisions, and generate a finished report.

The Modeler itself is not shown, as it has no screen interface. It executes on a cluster of high-speed computers and returns results to the operator that submitted the job.

Model Builder allows one person to assemble virtual components on screen, to represent the compressor and piping system under test.
