Abstract

Abstract: In the digital new era, all kinds of things and even the whole world can be digitized as a model. Simulation activities are conducted for various purposes, and the results can provide intelligent support for various decision-making. Digital twin is an important form of modeling and simulation application in the digital new era; it has been widely used in intelligent manufacturing, factories, buildings, smart cities and many other fields, showing a strong vitality; and its next step in the development direction is a comprehensive digital engineering. This paper reviews the history of the development of digital twin technology, analyzes its present situation and development prospects, and introduces the latest digital engineering strategy by the US Department of Defense. The opportunities and challenges faced by modeling and simulation of digital new era are put forward.
