Let’s talk about the state of executable digital twin support by Siemens. To begin, let’s define what is an executable digital twin. Simply put it is a model fed with sensor data that mimics the behavior of a physical product during operation. The twin is a virtual sensor that only exists in the digital realm. We received an update at …
ANSYS’s Twin Builder allows companies to create hybrid digital twins to improve product performance and design better products.

Altair: Managing the Data Twin and the Physics Twin
Using a digital twin in the design process has enabled engineers to refine product designs through models and simulations. Most digital twin systems are centered around modeling the operation of a product, but Altair has a different perspective that incorporates two separate digital twins. Altair’s Digital Twin Concept Altair takes a two-pronged approach to implementing the digital twin. The first …

The digital twin’s changing role
Manufacturing organizations are increasingly looking to digital twins to save time and money in the product development lifecycle. In this Siemens' blog post, Chad Jackson discusses how these virtual models of both products and plants help organizations streamline the product development process from design to operation and leverage the symbiotic relationship between plants and products to gain insights that power more informed decisions.
While the concepts of the digital twin and the digital thread are relatively new to the industry, they have quickly gained traction. In this Siemens' post, Chad Jackson discusses the roles of both the digital twin and the digital thread in greater digital transformation initiatives.
