System modelling - digital twins, simulation
General desciption of System modelling - digital twins, simulation:
Simulation (often referred to as digital twins) is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system. The act of simulating something first requires that a model be developed; this model represents the key characteristics, behaviors and functions of the selected physical or abstract system or process. The model represents the system itself, whereas the simulation represents the operation of the system over time. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation)
Comment:
FALCON aims to provide methodologies and approaches for representation of design knowledge on the one hand and additionally for forecasting and simulation mechanism. The representation of design knowledge will be based on existing standards and the developments dedicated to the Rule Interchange Format, which has been developed within the FP7 LinkedDesign project. Furthermore, FALCON supports the optimization of Forecasting and Simulation mechanism. By using real-life data gathered from Product Embedded Information Devices, sensors or from social media (blogs, twitter, facebook etc.) throughout the whole lifecycle optimized results are expected in order to find the best solutions for new generation product-services.
The FALCON Open Virtual Platform aims to support different domains dedicated to the whole lifecycle of products. In order to achieve this goal the Virtual Open Platform will include an ontology enabling different domains to exploit the FALCON VOP. Dedicated to the field of new product design the Rule Interchange Format will be further developed in order to represent design knowledge in a neutral format. This way also general valid knowledge (such as Moment of Inertia etc.) can be re-used in different contexts of product design.
