Conference on digital twins

This conference and the special issue that follows might be of interest to (some) if your blog readers.

Here’s what it says there:

The concept of digital twins is based on a combination of physical models that describe the machine’s behavior and its deterioration processes over time with analytics capabilities that enable lessons to be learned, decision making and model improvement. The physical models can include the control model, the load model, the erosion model, the crack development model and more while the analytics model which is based on experimental data and operational data from the field.

I don’t fully follow this, but it sounds related to all the engineering workflow things that we like to talk about.
