Digital Twins: Presented By: Megha Agrawal Mohit Parkhi

Digital twins are computer-based virtual representations of real-world objects or systems that mirror and interact with the physical world. They allow experts to predictively monitor products throughout their lifecycles. There are two types of digital twins - prototypes that are designed and tested virtually, and instances that mirror actual physical assets. Digital twins are maintained and updated in a digital twin environment to enable predictive analysis, insights, diagnostics and optimization across various use cases and industries. Some challenges to digital twins include requirements for internet connectivity, data security, integration with existing 2D design workflows, and management across global supply chains.

What are Digital
Twins?
• Computer-based versions of anything that physically exists.

• Cloud based virtual image of your asset maintained throughout the lifecycle
and easily accessible at any time.

• Virtual copy of something real, modelled to behave realistically.

• One platform brings all the experts together providing powerful analysis,
insight and diagnostics.
•

Vision - Create, Test, Build


Origin of Digital
Twin
• University of Michigan presentation originated by Dr. Grieves,
called it "Conceptual Ideal for PLM".
• Elements of the Digital Twin
• There was a mirroring or twinning of systems between what existed in
real space to what existed in virtual space and vice versa.
• The Digital Twin has been adopted as a conceptual basis in the
astronautics and aerospace area in recent years by NASA.

Difference between CAD and Digital Twins!
Formal Definition and its
Types
• Digital Twin is a set of virtual information constructs that fully describes a potential
or actual physical manufactured product from the micro atomic level to the
macro geometrical level. At its optimum, any information that could be obtained
from inspecting a physical manufactured product can be obtained from its Digital
Twin.

• Digital Twins are of two types:


Digital Twin Prototype (DTP)
Digital Twin Instance (DTI)
• DT's are operated on in a Digital
Twin Environment (DTE}.
TYPES

• Digital Twin Prototype (DTP)


• Digital Twin Instance (DTI)
• Digital Twin Aggregate (OTA)

• Digital Twin Environment (DTE)- this is an integrated, multi-domain
physics application space for operating on Digital Twins for a variety
of purposes

Digital Twin Model Use Cases

The 3 C's
Example
• s -A wind farm
Efficiency
• Safety Risks-An aircraft engine
• Maintenanc-eA race car engine
• Assembly- A digital twin of an air conditioning unit
• Smart City- includes underground structures such as water systems
• Testing-A digital twin of a smart
phone Design- 3D printer
• Healthcare-
• Robotics
• Performance Tuning- a spacecraft is
tuned from Earth
• Customer Experience- modeling
fashions on a visual twin of a
customer
• Any Physical entity
• Software

Disadvantage
s
• Dependent on internet connectivity
• Security is at stake.
• Digital Twins concept is based on 3D CAD models and not on 2D drawings.
• 39% of design work produces 2D drawings, 27% 3D models and 34% both 2D
drawings and 3D models. 2D drawings automatically generated from 3D CAD
models are important as there is more software development on 2D drawing
capability.
• A digital twin will be required across entire supply chains.
• The challenges here involve globalization and new manufacturing
techniques. Managing all these design data for digital twin amongst partners
and suppliers as the physical product evolves will be a challenge.
