How Unreal was Used in the Design of the World's Most Advanced Research Facility for Neutron Science
summary
Unreal Engine is used to turn Revit, STEP and IFC models into interactive VR and real‑time coordination tools for the European Spallation Source, cutting a slow Navisworks→OBJ→3ds Max loop by adopting Visual Dataprep and Datasmith, importing IES lighting, and running multiuser VR reviews. A crane logistics simulator uses Blueprint controls to lift casks; STEP imports halve triangle counts versus OBJ exports. Point clouds validate built areas; Pixel Streaming is under evaluation.
