Digital Twins and Lifecycle Evaluation
and Testing - using Simulation |
|
OVERVIEW Concept The diagram to the left represents
the lifecycle of a project, showing: ·
the physical
entity (bottom – blue). ·
its Digital
Twin (top – orange). ·
the scenarios
that the entity is required to support (centre – green). The horizontal axis depicts time
and the 3 vertical axes (one for each of the above) show the state of
evolution (“Progress”). As time progresses, the evolution of both the entity
and its twin develops; during the ‘In-Use’ period, changes reflect any
physical entity changes. |

Features The following features can be seen: ·
The scenarios
(green – centre) are developed early along with some software modelling (top
– orange). ·
The scenarios
stabilise early in the project lifecycle. ·
The stages of
development of the physical entity follow the evolution of the software model
(the developing twin). ·
The E&T
activities (grey) take place regularly during the lifecycle and are based
upon running the scenarios The E&T
activities can use any mix of the physical entity and the software model to
the extent of current development until the full scenarios can be exercised –
depicted by the increasing fatness of the grey E&T ellipses. Not depicted in the diagram, and during the In-Use lifecycle
phase, a copy of the final software model will be the Twin of an individual
physical entity and will be linked to it. This is an important feature of the
Digital Twin concept and is how many of the advantages are realised. |
