ANSYS Twin Builder

Ansys Twin Builder is an open solution that allows engineers to create simulation-based digital twins with Hybrid Analytics.

Overview

Ansys Twin Builder is a uniquely open solution that allows engineers to create digital twins–connected, virtual replicas of in-service physical assets. Digital twins enable true predictive maintenance, allowing for cost savings, and the proactive optimization of an asset’s operation. Ansys Twin Builder lets you build, validate and deploy the twin, potentially cutting the time required to create an accurate product model in half. Once deployed, users can expect a 25% increase in product performance, and maintenance cost savings of up to 20% over the product’s lifetime.

An analytics-driven, simulation-based digital twin is a connected, virtual replica of an in-service physical asset — in the form of an integrated multidomain system simulation —that mirrors the life and experience of the asset. Hybrid digital twins enable system design and optimization and predictive maintenance, and they optimize industrial asset management. By implementing Ansys Twin Builder, you can improve top-line revenue, manage bottom-line costs and both gain and retain a competitive advantage.
