Digital Twins<br />
Early in the concept’s existence, authors Edward Glaessgen and<br />
David Stargel’s analysis of Digital Twins’ role in US military and NASA<br />
projects: “A Digital Twin is an integrated multiphysics, multiscale,<br />
probabilistic simulation of an as-built vehicle or system that uses<br />
the best available physical models, sensor updates, fleet history,<br />
etc., to mirror the life of its corresponding flying twin”. The upshot is<br />
that a digital twin can cheaply and more effectively represent a real<br />
world mechanism or system, with “potentially billions of dollars of<br />
savings in maintenance, repair, and operation. According to Gartner,<br />
“In the short term, digital twins offer help with asset management,<br />
but will eventually offer value in operational efficiency and insights<br />
into how products are used and how they can be improved”.<br />
