Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Digital Twins (DTs) technology is utilised in Industry 4.0 to transform industries, enhancing their overall efficiency and reducing waste. DTs software is used to create a digital model of the physical system, with various software packages available on the market. Therefore, it is not easy to choose software to create DTs. Additionally, selecting the proper software is crucial. This study focuses on software for creating DTs, presenting a list of open-source and commercial software. Moreover, this study focuses on the selection of DT software based on its area of application, including its key features. This study is helpful for academic researchers and industrialists who want to implement DTs in various applications. It helps to establish a framework for DT models using proper steps, tools, and technologies for each step, which can be effectively applied in real-life applications, increasing overall efficiency and reducing resource waste in industries. This is one of the few studies that lists various software available in the market for developing DT for various applications.
