Digital engineering with MBSE and Virtual Twins for education

Dassault Systèmes and its Virtual Twin technology represent the full lifecycle, behavior and evolution of a product or system, starting with a 3D model that captures the shape, dimensions and properties of a physical object.

Now, readers can try out Dassault’s Virtual Twin technology.

Build a robotic arm Virtual Twin

Build a small robotic arm and its Virtual Twin yourself in this free EduSpace learning module.

By the end of the learning module, you will be able to:

• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering principles throughout the development lifecycle of a robotic arm project.
• Conduct stakeholder needs analysis and translate those needs into a structured system architecture.
• Manage system requirements effectively, ensuring traceability through digital thread integration.
• Design mechanical and electrical components and utilize simulation and co-simulation tools to optimize performance.
• Integrate software development within the system architecture and ensure smooth system deployment.

The following software prerequisites are needed to run the EduSpace learning module:

• 3DEXPERIENCE Platform - Cloud version (2026x)
• CATIA Magic (2024x or newer)
