This study used finite element analysis results of partially filled concrete thin-walled steel bridge piers where odb files were converted to vtk and then pvd files for compatibility with paraview and Omniverse application platform. The aim of this study is to offer 3D visualizations and simulations of accurate, AI-enabled, virtual simulations that are perfectly synchronized with the real world. The overall objective of using Omniverse as a simulation tool is to produce digital twins for transforming industries and scientific discovery, as well as delivering superpowers to developers, researchers, and enterprises who use them to design, simulate, and optimize products, equipment, and processes in real-time, before ever going to production. This research entails porting the content to interactive VR environments for research and education in a learning institution setup. In addition, the research project would like to leverage the Digital Twin capabilities of Omniverse, so that robust AI CFD could be done directly inside Omniverse platforms
