Texas State University’s (TXST) Connected Infrastructure for Education, Demonstration and Applied Research (CIEDAR) Consortium has announced a liaison agreement with Boston- based Digital Twin Consortium, giving TXST expanded access to cutting-edge digital twin technology.
A digital twin is a virtual representation of real- world objects and processes, synchronized at a specified frequency and fidelity. Digital twins use real-time and historical data to represent the past and present and simulate predicted futures.
“We are very excited to join the Digital Twin Consortium, collaborate with its members, and contribute to the use of the technology to solve many challenges for industry,” said Andres Carvallo, co-director of CIEDAR, professor of innovation in the TXST College of Science and Engineering, and fellow at the Materials Application Research Center.
