In 2010, NASA applied the concept of digital twin to the simulation and prediction of the entire life cycle of aircraft. Since then, digital twins have received widespread attention, and its related theories and technologies have developed rapidly. Vanderhorn and Mahadevan proposed a unified and broad definition of digital twins, that is, a virtual representation of a physical system and its related environment and processes that is updated through information exchange between the physical system and the virtual system.
