we have new and very effective

digital tools to digitize existing

objects, we need the facilities we

have already built to be digitized?

Quite simply, why do we need it,

and what will the digital twin of

the made and built object serve

us in the first place?

Take the existing building as an

example and imagine the

situation when walking through a

building to ask the building

owner or facility manager what

are the properties of a wall -

what is its thickness, what

material is it made of, what is the

brand of the concrete wall, is it

bearing wall, whether it has a

finish and of which thickness,

from which material the finish is

made, is the load-bearing

capacity of the wall such that we

can hang brackets for pipes of a

certain weight, which is the fire

resistance of the wall, whether

we can make a hole in the wall to

accommodate the damper and

"pull-in" the cooling or heating

duct when planning a wall

painting, what is the wall area in

order to calculate the cost of wall

painting, etc.

I am convinced that it would take

a few days for the building owner

or facility manager to answer the

above questions if we assume

that he did not have a digital twin

model of the building.

Simply, the owner of the building

or the facility manager would

have to go through a pile of

paper to get the information I

needed, he would have to contact

the archive for some information,

and I am sure he would not be

able to find some information.

However, if the building owner or

the facility manager had a digital

twin building model, I am

confident that for some

questions, I would get answers

within minutes, and for slightly

more complex questions, such as

wall openings and wall-mounted

pipe holders I believe I would get

the answer in a few hours.

I think that you have, through a

straightforward example of an

ordinary wall, seen the potential

of a digital twin of an existing

facility, which, for example, can

save you significant financial

resources by optimizing the cost

of maintaining the facility, finding

the best option for renovating,

upgrading and adapting

industrial facilities to a different

purpose and finally when

calculating the operating costs

and life cycle of the facility.

Try to imagine how much savings

you can make when maintaining

mechanical and electrical

installations, production lines in

factories, maintaining fire

installations, etc.

I am going to write much more

about digital twins of objects that

have already been made or built

in the following article: "Digital

Twins in The Construction

Industry," since my wish for this

article is to stay focused on the

concept of the digital twin in the

broad sense. So let's move on to

a topic that combines the need

for making a digital twin in both

objects that are subject to

fabrication or construction and in

objects that are made or built.

Digital Simulation

Tools for Digital

Twins

When talking about digital

simulation tools for the digital

twin, keep in mind that we are

entering the rainforest, and it is

very difficult to capture all the

tools available. Therefore, I am

going to list just a few of the most
