Development of an Information Model for Simulation Data Management in the Digital Twin

Abstract

This paper presents an information model for the association of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) behavior models and sensor-based simulation data under consideration of UML-association classes and artifacts of model-based testing (MBT). This scientific work extends the concept of the Digital Twin, consisting of a Digital Master and a Digital Shadow, by the entity of a Simulation Data Management in the Digital Twin (SDM-DT). The required information model of the SDM-DT represents the association between simulation data and simulation models and builds the foundation for the model-based management of simulation conditions for aggregating simulation load cases for predictive use cases. The information model is implemented for a 3D printing use case.
