Digital Twins are often seen as simply simulations of physical counterparts. However, they are much more than this simple definition and require a nuanced understanding. This article looks to dispel the falsehoods behind what a digital twin is, looking at the differences between digital twins and simulation in theory and in practice. The article will also explore the pros and cons of both. To be defined as one, digital twins must conform to three principles. First, they must be a direct 1-1 replica of a physical counterpart. Second, a digital twin feeds and obtains data instantaneously in real time, constantly updated. Third, realistic physics must be implemented to represent a physical counterpart’s properties. These three combined factors make up the core fundamentals of a digital twin.
