Could you build this?
No Creating a real-time 3D industrial simulation engine integrating rigid body physics with industrial PLC communication protocols (OPC UA, Snap7, PLCSIM, Modbus) requires deep industrial automation and 3D simulation engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a 3D simulation engine (e.g. Unity, Godot, or Unreal) linked to a deterministic physics solver for conveyers, sensors, and actuators, coupled with an asynchronous industrial communication layer (implementing Snap7, OPC UA stacks, and Siemens PLCSIM Advanced memory maps). The hardest technical challenges are deterministic physical event synchronization with real-time millisecond PLC cyclic polling loops and realistic sensor signal emulation without timing drift. This demands deep domain expertise in industrial automation, PLC fieldbus protocols, and real-time graphics/physics simulation.
