Not capable of making a substitute for Dassault or Siemens for such technologies. Unfortunately digital twin is a corrupted term that i can make you a "digital twin" tomorrow on the Excel. Flight simulators are also a digital twin, or Simulink like control environments.
Thanks for your valuable contribution and for the elaboration of the concept guess we may have some steps in the right direction eventhough the title is a bit too much motivated

Turkish technology company BİTES assumes important responsibilities in the studies carried out on "digital twin" in Europe.
"Digital twin", which is a virtual copy of a real product, process, system or facility, is among the technologies that will change the way we interact with the world.
Digital twins, which are considered to have a great impact on existing products and markets, are expected to move to the "early majority" stage in the next 3-6 years.
Digital twin monitors systems and analyzes them in real time, prevents problems before they occur by creating events that are unlikely to occur in real life or that are dangerous by creating them in a digital environment and providing feedback to the system, analyzing the work of people and machines to detect ineffective steps in the processes and providing feedback for improvement. It has potential usage areas such as providing Additionally, in advanced digital twins, the real system is automatically improved.
This technology, which increases productivity, quality and efficiency, engineering efficiency and reduces operating costs, is used in many areas such as automotive, aviation and space, health, renewable energy, city management and production.
One of the areas where digital twins are used effectively is the defense industry. Examples of uses in the defense industry include improving hardware/platform production processes, running a digital twin for each platform in the field (such as F35, Mars Rover), providing preventive maintenance by collecting data from platforms/systems, and sharing preventive maintenance information between platforms.
A digital twin is created on the ground with the data collected from the platform. Before sending a command to the platform, the result of the command can first be tested on the digital twin on the ground. For preventive maintenance, detailed data can be extracted from the maintenance sensors on the post-flight platform and fed to the digital twin. Every platform in the manned/unmanned land, air and sea domain can be developed and optimized by running digital twins.
ASELSAN's subsidiary, the Turkish defense and technology company BITES Defense Aviation and Space Technologies Yazılım Elektronik Ticaret AŞ, has also been carrying out R&D studies on digital twin recently.
Exchanging ideas and collaborating with local/foreign stakeholders from different fields such as energy, aviation, plastic injection and health, the company focuses on developing application frameworks and tools for the rapid and cost-effective development of digital twins.
BİTES received the approval of the ITEA Cluster, where Europe's leading industry players meet, with its two projects.
The "TiDiT-Timeline Driven Digital Twin" projects, which are led within the scope of the project calls of the ITEA Cluster, which operates with a focus on software innovation under the umbrella of Eureka, one of the leading platforms of the European Union (EU) ecosystem, and the "VESTA - Proactive Protection Against Phishing-Based Ransomware" projects, which are partners, were realized. As a result of the applications, ITEA secretariat and TÜBİTAK successfully completed the evaluation processes.
ITEA is one of Europe's innovative and industry-focused programs and also plays an active role in the development of competitive sectors. BİTES made its national applications to the TEYDEB 1509 Program as the last stage of the process.
The Time-Axis Digital Twin Project, with a budget of 14 million euros, will be carried out by a consortium consisting of 17 partners from 5 countries: Turkey, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal and Slovenia.
At the end of the project, it is aimed to develop a time-oriented TiDiT Digital Twin platform that will enable better decision-making in business processes. Project partners include Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V., TNO, Almende, Total Reality, Eindhoven University, Yazzoom, SISTRADE, ISEP Institute, Caretronic, Alp Aviation, Innova, Panasonic Life Solutions, Bewell Technology, which stands out with its health and smart production technologies.
"We aim to become an important player"
BİTES General Manager Uğur Coşkun said that the current digital twin services in the market cannot fully meet customer needs, prevent unexpected malfunctions and offer cost-effective models.
Coşkun also pointed out that end users had to install each simulation using different software, and stated that this created negativities in terms of cost, time and labor usage.
Coşkun said:
"By bringing together different software capabilities while meeting customer needs through the application of innovative technologies, the TiDiT Project aims to create a model timeline-oriented digital twin platform-as-a-service to enable a better decision-making process and increase situational awareness. Such an international consortium in an emerging technology field "We attach importance to leadership. We aim to become an important player both in Turkey and internationally by strengthening our muscles in digital twin with such projects."
