It is used to acquire (an existing) or create (build, manifest, make) an «physical» ActualPhysicalAsset, which is a special case of «physical» PhysicalEntity. Webel Twin Pattern: A «digital» DigitalEntity (a.k.a. @Entity) is NOT a representation! It is a digital encapsulation (it can only be perceived at the level of "bits and bytes"). It HAS many representations (such as views)! 05: Twin instances Webel Twin Pattern: The primary aim of the digitalEntity:@Entity of a DigitalTwin is to replicate its physical:PhysicalEntity as closely as possible (not to explore variants). Webel Twin Pattern: A DigitalTwin may use one or more variantEntity:@Entity[0..*] to explore the impact of changes (optimisation studies, trade off studies) and then use them to drive the PhysicalEntity into a desired state (via its ControlSystem). 07: BDD of twin control loop Blocks 08: IBD of basic twin control loop 09: IBD of DigitalTwin 10: Process overview 11: Example: Twinning a construction Pipe 12: Overview of 'pipe' package 13: PipeDigitalTwin instances 14: IBD for PipeDigitalTwin flow control 01: Digital twin «snippet» text extracts from ANZLIC 2019 Source ANZLIC 2019 - Principles for Spatially Enabled Digital Twins of the Built and Natural Environment in Australia Copyright information Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Snippet kind INFO Previous snippet Digital twins are dynamic, data driven, multi-dimensional digital replicas of a physical entity.

Related snippets (backlinks) In contrast to traditional digital models, digital twins can connect with the physical ‘twin’ they model, changing alongside the physical system via real-time sensors and actuators.
