Course Overview
About this online Course
Digitalization leads to dramatic changes: Not only are technologies changing faster and faster, but our work processes must also change in order to meet increasing demands for quality, flexibility, time-to-market and productivity. Learn how virtual engineering and the digital twin can help you meet these challenges!
This skill presents practical content based on the expert knowledge of partners like evosoft and ITQ. Learn what virtual engineering and the digital twin are and what advantages, but also challenges come along with them. Learn how the engineering process changes through virtual engineering and get to know practical examples where virtual engineering and the concept of the digital twin have been concretely applied.
Target group
This skill is aimed at users who are interested not only in the basics but also in concrete applications of virtual engineering.
