“ It ’ s an approach and way of working , enabled by connecting the physical and digital worlds , that will fundamentally change our society , business , economy , and environment ”

SIMON EVANS DELIVERY TEAM LEAD FOR BRITAIN ’ S NATIONAL DIGITAL TWIN PROGRAMME designs in costly or unlikely real-world scenarios , such as simulating auto crashes or natural disasters without any fallout . Tesla engineers can model electric batteries even when critical minerals are in short supply . And that ’ s just the tip of the iceberg .
In recent years , increasingly advanced computing has allowed us to take on more complex simulations . Fugaku ’ s supercomputer enabled manufacturers to use complex CFD ( computational fluid dynamics ) simulations — fast , accurate models that reduce design time . These simulations allowed original designs to be fed into simulation software , allowing engineers to pre-test critical safety and performance features prior to build . Some even took simulation technology one step further ...
