A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical product, system or process that is continuously updated with real-world data. In the context of CAD, a digital twin starts with a precise 3D model that mirrors the geometry, performance and behavior of the actual product. Engineers can use this model not just for visualization but also to simulate performance under real-world conditions. Unlike traditional CAD models, CAD digital twins evolve throughout the product lifecycle integrating data from sensors, IoT devices and production environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every digital twin starts with a CAD model, which provides the shape and parametric details of the product. Once created, the model is enriched with live information. CAD<\/a> provides the blueprint, and the digital twin turns that blueprint into a dynamic, data-driven tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key functions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
