Abstract
Digital twins (DT) form part of the Industry 4.0 revolution within manufacturing and related industries. A DT is a digital model (DM) of a real system that features continuous and automated synchronisation and feedback of optimisations between the real and digital domains. A core technology for predictive capabilities from DT is discrete event simulation (DES). The modelling cycle for developing and analysing DES models is significantly different compared to DM. A DT specific DES modelling cycle is introduced that is evolved from that of DM. The availability of specialised software tools for DT tailored to these differences would benefit industry.
