Cross-discipline collaboration using behavioural digital twins for fast full system simulation

In this presentation, James Hui will discuss a real life use case that the benefit from creating a behavioural digital twin, which allows different stakeholders using a fast full system simulation as the platform to conduct test, experiment and verify design decisions a year before entering its implementation phase. He also shares the lesson learnt and what is the right mind-set to embrace this new design approach.

Engineering is a team sport, an active and close collaboration is essentials for the success of any programme. Modern embedded system are becoming more software intensive, the complexity of such system is further compounded by safety and security requirements together with budget pressure from the business level. Accurate communication with up-to-date information helps cross-discipline teams to remove mistakes seeded early in the requirement/design stage, and maximises the chances for successful programme delivery on time and on budget.
