CERN has substantial interest in the use of digital twins for many technological, engineering, and scientific improvements. In this case, digital twins provide assistance with planning interventions. Using NVIDIA Omniverse, a 3D simulation and programming engine, a large-scale 3D digital twin of the CERN accelerator complex was created and simulated. This was done using CERN CAD data that was converted to the Universal Scene Descriptor (USD) format. These models and data were used in the digital twin to create interactive tools for intervention planning and simulation, including navigation through areas, animations, analyzing access levels, and simulating intervention size and weight..
