Digital twin and physical twin management with integrated external feedback within a digital engineering platform

Abstract

Digital model platform that enables the streamlined creation and management of digital twins and physical twins by leveraging external feedback and artificial intelligence (AI) is disclosed. Methods and systems for a model collaboration platform that facilitate the integration of external feedback, whether from physical, virtual, or human sources, into the streamlined design, validation, verification, certification, assembly, operations, and maintenance processes of complex systems. Updated results are output to those external sources, including physical twins, other digital twins or models and simulations, and/or human users. External feedback includes feedback data from physical prototypes and their environment, virtual prototypes, simulations, and subject-matter experts. Embodiments are directed to integrating external feedback into the assembly and system-level assessment of digital twins, physical twins, digital threads, and the iterative design of constituting digital engineering models, including constructing, maintaining, and improving digital engineering models for the design, validation, verification, certification, operations, and maintenance of complex systems.
