Multi-Disciplinary Systems Engineering 3DEXPERIENCE Twin
1. What is a 3DEXPERIENCE Twin?
3DEXPERIENCE twins are rapidly becoming perceived as must haves in engineering. As digital replicas of real-world component, the potential benefits are easy to grasp: a direct application of computing power to complex, tangible problems in the physical world. Useful across industries, they can bring greater accuracy, control and predictability to a range of challenges.

2. 3DEXPERIENCE Twin in Academia
The combination of hardware with the 3DEXPERIENCE Twin produces a broad set of experiential learning opportunities in projects and inter-disciplinary teaching of Mechanical engineering, Mechatronics engineering, Internet of Things, Manufacturing and Industrial engineering.
Quanser DUAL Rotor Experiment
A 3DEXPERIENCE Twin of 2 Degrees of Freedom (2 DOF) device: the Quanser AERO was designed in collaboration with Quanser, world leader in design and manufacturer of advanced systems for real-time control design and implementation in industry, education and research. During his internship, Melvyn created a 3D visualization of the real device by implementing multi-physics behaviors (electrical, mechanical…) with the use of Systems Engineering applications. Now, the 3DEXPERIENCE Twin can be manipulated as the real one. A simulation can be performed by connecting the real device to its 3DEXPERIENCE TWIN. One considerable interest of the 3DEXPERIENCE Twin is for students to be able to work on it at home and connect with the real device to run their simulation when back on campus.

3. Where to Start?
A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step. Get started by watching below video. This video will teach you, how to create a simple 3DEXPERIENCE Twin of a Servo Motor of a Robot. The 3DEXPERINEC Twin will enable you to comprehend the state of the servo motor, it's response to variations, improve its processes and add value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDZFLWFt4tc

Cost-effective Virtual Labs using Digital Twins
Training students and researchers involves costly, fragile and sometimes hazardous equipment. The alternative? Virtual labs. Based on digital technology, these labs have become powerful learning tools, allowing students and teachers to overcome the constraints of the physical world to train safely. With 3D simulation, the learner interacts with digital equipment that behaves like the actual device, providing a flexible setting to gain understanding through all kinds of practical exercises, from the most basic to the highly complex. The idea, which simulation software experts have dreamed of for more than 20 years, took shape with the emergence of computing tools powerful enough to run these compute-intensive programs. Physical systems are excellent teaching tools, but they must be multiplied by the number of students so that everyone can use them at the same time. Thanks to the virtual lab, students can experiment on a realistic model of the tool on their computers and then take turns trying out the real system. This ‘cyber-physical’ combination optimizes the time spent on the actual demonstrator and offers a more instructional experience. The learners can make mistakes in the virtual world, which better prepares them to handle the delicate physical equipment, thus promoting the idea of getting it right the first time. Students can create Modelica (Mathematical Behaviors) libraries, CAD libraries, VR Experience libraries as projects. Furthermore, such libraries can be passed to other students in campus for future developments. Happy Manifestations!
