Systems and methods for identifying and mitigating gas turbine component misalignment using virtual simulation are disclosed herein. An example method may include capturing data associated with a first nozzle segment and a second nozzle segment of a gas turbine. The method may also include creating, based on the captured data, a virtual representation of the first nozzle segment and the second nozzle segment. The method may also include determining that a misalignment exists in a connection between the virtual representation first nozzle segment and the virtual representation of the second nozzle segment. The method may also include identifying, based on the determination that the misalignment exists, a third nozzle segment. The method may also include determining that a connection between a third nozzle segment and the first nozzle segment includes a smaller misalignment.
