VIEW PRODUCTA digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset, system, or process that is continuously updated with real-world operational data. It combines physics-based simulation with live sensor inputs to mirror the current state of its physical counterpart and support predictive decision-making.
Ansys Twin Builder is a multi-domain system simulation platform that enables engineers to create, validate, and deploy physics-based digital twins. It combines ROM technology, machine learning, and real-time IoT data integration to build operational twins that run in industrial deployment environments without requiring Ansys licences on the target hardware.
Digital twins continuously compare live sensor data against physics-model predictions to detect deviations that indicate degradation or developing faults. By tracking accumulated damage and remaining useful life in real time, they enable maintenance to be scheduled based on actual asset condition rather than fixed intervals — reducing both unplanned downtime and unnecessary servicing.
A reduced-order model compresses a high-fidelity simulation — such as an FEA or CFD model — into a compact mathematical representation that reproduces the same physics at a fraction of the computational cost. ROMs are essential for digital twin deployment because they allow rigorous physics to run in real time on edge or cloud hardware.
Ansys Twin Builder exports digital twins as portable runtime packages with standard REST API interfaces. These runtimes can be connected to industrial IoT platforms — such as AWS IoT, Azure Digital Twins, or PTC ThingWorx — to receive live sensor data streams and return updated state estimates, predictions, and recommendations through the same interface.
Digital twins deliver the greatest value in industries with complex, high-value, or safety-critical assets — including energy and utilities, aerospace and defence, automotive and EV, industrial machinery, and semiconductor manufacturing. Any sector where unplanned downtime is costly or where continuous performance optimisation drives competitive advantage can benefit from digital twin technology.
