The National Academy of Engineering, and National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, in collaboration with numerous other contributors, earlier this year released their consensus study report titled “Foundational Research Gaps and Future Directions for Digital Twins”. Digital twins, which integrate computational models with physical counterparts, are poised to revolutionize fields such as healthcare, climate prediction, and engineering by enabling dynamic, data-driven decision-making. This report outlines the necessary foundational research and resources to advance digital twin technology, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. Overcoming current challenges will unlock the full potential of digital twins, leading to significant innovations and improvements in various domains.
MOSIMTEC’s long-time business model revolves around developing and using simulation models and digital twins to support complex decision making for clients across various industries. This report, along with the outcomes and findings, provides affirmation of the value and direction of digital twins, including the effort required to make it a success. If you are interested in learning more about creating a digital twin for your business, please contact MOSIMTEC.
