ASSESS and ASDL 2020 Digital Twin Forum Coming Up

ASSESS Initiative, a multi-industry simulation-focused initiative, announces its collaboration with the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL) at Georgia Tech to organize a 2-day forum to develop a common understanding of the state of the art and the potential of digital twins. The 2020 Digital Twins Forum will be held at the ASDL offices on the Georgia Tech Campus for a two-day caucus on July 7-8, 2020. Attendance at the Digital Twins Forum is limited to 50 attendees and is by invitation only. Registration for the 2020 Digital Twins Forum is now open. 

Digital twin(s) in a digital thread strategy represent the next big business driver in enabling digital transformation across the domains of product development, manufacturing and in-service operations, according to the ASSESS Initiative. 

One specific form of a digital twin is a physics-based digital twin used in engineering simulation. The focus of one ASSESS Initiative theme is to advocate for and enable a significant expansion of the use of engineering simulation digital twin(s). The definition of an engineering simulation digital twin has been defined and agreed to by the ASSESS Engineering Simulation Digital Twin(s) working group.  

The ASSESS Initiative Membership program provides the ability for the ASSESS Initiative to expand its efforts and community benefits beyond the annual congress. The ASSESS Membership Program is appropriate for all organizations engaged in Analysis, Simulation, and Systems Engineering activities related to Engineered products & processes. The ASSESS Membership Program is offered in individual or group memberships. Active ASSESS Initiative Members receive access to Members Only content on the ASSESS website and a discount on the ASSESS Congress Registration Fees.
