Chloé Guilmet and Jean-Luc Schneider, Getinge–La Calhène, describe airflow simulation in virtual reality to optimise isolator design
The ‘Virtual Isolator’ was created as a result of a close partnership between Getinge-La Calhène and CEA LIST, part of the French Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives. This virtual reality tool is mainly used to study issues related to the ergonomics of the isolator and accessibility inside its working area. It is employed in project design before any physical construction (mock-up or prototype) is produced.
