R&D virtual prototyping that accelerates innovation—without physical trial and error

Use intelligent digital twins to design, test, and refine products and systems virtually—so engineering teams can explore more options, reduce risk, and bring better designs to market faster.

From static simulation to living design models

This solution applies the intelligent digital twin model to a specific operational challenge. For a full explanation of the model itself, see: 

What is an Intelligent Digital Twin

R&D virtual prototyping with intelligent digital twins goes beyond one-off simulations.

An intelligent digital twin:
  • Represents components, systems, and interactions digitally

  • Evolves as designs, assumptions, and data change

  • Combines physics-based models with operational context

  • Enables rapid comparison of design alternatives

Instead of testing one idea at a time, teams can explore many possibilities—quickly and safely.

A practical R&D workflow

1

Create the digital prototype

Build a digital representation of the product, component, or system.

2

Define scenarios and assumptions

Set operating conditions, loads, environments, and constraints.

3

Simulate behavior and performance

Evaluate strength, efficiency, reliability, and failure modes.

4

Compare design alternatives

Test variations side by side to understand trade-offs.

5

Refine and iterate

Incorporate learnings into the next design iteration—before physical build.
