Synchronize Diagram Views - for Digital Twins

Hello,

I created in Catia Magic Cyber System a BDD and created an Instance.

It seems that Catia Magic Cyber Systems does not have a built-in "Synchronize Diagram" feature that would automatically align the instance view with the original BDD.

 

I plan to use Catia Magic Cyber System Engineer for creating and managing digital twins. Each twin represents a specific physical location. Based on a 150% architecture, I want to create instances. Each instance should represent its own twin. 

My project will have at the end 300-400 instances generated out of a 150% master BDD.

 

Advantages of instances in our use case:

  1. More efficient management:
  • Instances share the same base definition (150% architecture)
  • Changes to the base architecture automatically affect all instances
  • Lower maintenance effort
  1. Better scalability:
  • New locations can be quickly created as new instances
  • The basic structure doesn't need to be redefined each time
  • Well suited for a large number of similar locations
  1. Consistency:
  • All locations are based on the same basic architecture
  • Standardized properties and interfaces
  • Easier quality assurance
  1. Flexibility:
  • Each instance can be configured individually
  • Location-specific adaptations are possible
  • The basic structure remains intact

 

Implementation steps:

  1. Create the 150% architecture as a base model -> done
  2. Define the common properties of all locations -> done
  3. Create instances for each location -> Current Step
  4. Configure the location-specific parameters in the instances -> open

 

What is a good way to get an harmonized model view between Master and Instances?

 

Thank you a lot,

Norbert.
