Deploying A Digital Twin – Siemens way

A classic deployment of a digital twin includes three pillars: product design, manufacturing process planning and feedback loops. Product design A digital twin includes all design elements of a product, namely: 3D models using computer-aided design (CAD) systems System models (using systems engineering product development solutions, such as systems-driven product development) Bill-of-materials (BOM) 1D, 2D and 3D analysis models using

Multiple ways of using FEA: From point solutions to simulation democratization

Any complete FEA solution has at-least three mandatory components: Pre-Processor, solver and post-processor. If you compare it with an automobile, solver is the engine that has all the steps/solution sequences to solve the discretized model. It can be regarded as the main power source of a CAE system. The pre-processor is a graphical user interface that allows user to define
