Digital Twin & Digital Engineering Tool Reviews


The Digital Engineering / Digital Twin Tool Reviews section provides selective reviews of Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) and Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Digital Engineering / Digital Engineering tools that are organized by functionality (Agile MBSE, Massive M&S, AI & ML, 3D CAD & 3D Printing, VR & AR, etc.) and target platform ( ).

When evaluating FOSS tools, note that open source software tools may be free but subject to open source licensing restrictions, and that free software tools (such as shareware) may be free but potentially closed source.

There are a variety of popular Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) and Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Digital Engineering software tools that can be used to model and simulate Digital Twins. Some examples of popular open source tools include OpenModelica, OpenDSS, and OpenFOAM, which are used to model and simulate physical systems in a range of domains, including electrical, mechanical, and fluid dynamics. Other examples of popular open source tools include Gephi, NetworkX, and Neo4j, which are used to model and simulate complex networks and systems of interactions.

In addition to open source tools, there are also a number of popular commercial Digital Engineering software tools that can be used to model and simulate digital twins. Some examples of popular commercial tools include Cameo/Cameo Simulation Toolkit, MATLAB/Simulink, Mathematica, MapleSim, Comsol Multiphysics, and Ansys, which are used to model and simulate physical systems in a range of domains, including electrical, mechanical, and fluid dynamics. Other examples of popular commercial tools include IBM Watson Studio, SAP Leonardo, and Siemens MindSphere, which are used to model and simulate complex networks and systems of interactions, as well as to integrate Digital Twins with other data and analytics tools.

Overall, the specific Digital Engineering software tools that are used to model and simulate Digital Twins will ultimately depend on the specific domain and application of the Digital Twin, as well as the specific modeling and simulation requirements of the particular system. Some tools may be more suitable for particular types of systems or applications, while others may be more versatile in nature and therefore applicable to a wider range of domains.
