Chapter 18: Simulations Using a Digital Twin

This chapter gives a better understanding of what simulation is and how simulation can benefit from using a digital twin. There are many forms of simulation. While we explain most of them at a concept level, we will deep dive into some of them by using real-life examples. In each of these examples, digital twins are used to support simulation in a certain way. This chapter will help you understand more about simulation in combination with a digital twin.

This chapter contains the following sections:

  • Understanding simulation
  • Solution design and architecture

Understanding simulation

Simulation is the imitation of some operation or process in the real world over time. Simulations are built based on ...
