simulation of reality, which can
be used for various purposes."
After defining the term digital
twin, many BIM specialists will
recognize that the BIM model can
easily be placed in the context of
the digital twin, which is not so
far from the truth.
In chronological terms, the BIM
model can be seen as the very
beginning of digital twin
generation, i.e., as his starting
point.
If you go back to the definition of
a digital twin, the BIM model can
be conditionally viewed as a
digital replica of real data.
However, the BIM model cannot
adequately meet the
requirements of the digital twin
model, which can be a simulation
of the life cycle of a building,
different types of industrial
process simulation, simulation of
building behavior during a fire,
evacuation of people during a
fire, simulation of crash tests in
the automotive industry, particle
motion and their behavior during
movement, etc.
It is important to note a few other
things related to the digital twin.
The digital twin represents one of
the pillars of the fourth industrial
revolution, and the potential and
savings of such an approach are
increasingly evident.
Digital twins can be classified in
many ways depending on the
person’s point of view.
I think the best way to classify
digital twins is to digital twin
objects that are under fabrication
or construction and to objects
that are already made or built.
Still, we need additional
information about those objects.
What we will not be able to avoid
in this article as topics closely
related to digital twins are the
digital tools of simulation, the
involvement of machine learning,
and artificial intelligence.
Digital Twins Of
Objects Being
Fabricated Or
Constructed
With this type of digital twin, we
typically mean objects that are
subject to future fabrication or
construction. In this digital twin
generation workflow, we first
mean creating a BIM model,
which is almost always an object
or part of it being design.
By object or part of a designed
object, I mean objects such as
buildings or parts thereof, cars or
parts thereof, production line or
parts of a production line,
dynamic objects, simulation of
the destruction of a building
(progressive collapse), etc.
All of the above objects or parts
of objects that are subject to
future fabrication or construction,
if you have noticed, are
characterized by the fact that
from a BIM point of view they can
be considered as fully static BIM
