Digital Twin Scenario Throughput at 60% usable scenario result efficiency: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop usable scenario result efficiency to 60%, then walk the calculation through step by step. Measure effective digital twin scenario throughput from completed scenarios, simulation runtime, and usable-result efficiency.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Completed digital twin scenarios: 320 scenarios (held at the documented default)
  • Simulation runtime: 14 hr (held at the documented default)
  • Usable scenario result efficiency: 60 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 84)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Raw scenario throughput = completed scenarios รท simulation runtime.
  • Usable scenario throughput works out to 13.71 scenarios/hr at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Raw scenario throughput works out to 22.86 scenarios/hr at these inputs.
  • Usable result efficiency works out to 60 % at these inputs.
  • Simulation runtime works out to 14 hr at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where usable scenario result efficiency sits at 84% and the headline result is 19.2 scenarios/hr, this scenario comes in 28.57% below the baseline at 13.71 scenarios/hr.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to usable scenario result efficiency, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. Usable result efficiency is a single rate and does not capture which scenarios failed or why, so it won't tell you if your most important corner cases are the ones diverging.

Results at a glance

  • Usable scenario throughput: 13.71 scenarios/hr (headline result)
  • Raw scenario throughput: 22.86 scenarios/hr
  • Usable result efficiency: 60 %
  • Simulation runtime: 14 hr
