Digital Twin Validation Load at 40% data cleanup and model correction allowance: a worked example

This worked example runs the digital twin validation load numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 40% data cleanup and model correction allowance instead of the typical 55%. Estimate validation hours for a digital twin from validation cases, validation pace, and allowance for data cleanup and model correction.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Digital twin validation cases: 95 cases (held at the documented default)
  • Validation case review pace: 0.18 cases/min (held at the documented default)
  • Data cleanup and model correction allowance: 40 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 55)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Base validation review time = validation cases รท validation case review pace, converted to hours.
  • Digital twin validation load works out to 739 validation hr at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Base validation review time works out to 528 validation hr at these inputs.
  • Data cleanup and correction allowance works out to 40 % at these inputs.
  • Validation case review pace works out to 0.18 cases/min at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where data cleanup and model correction allowance sits at 55% and the headline result is 818 validation hr, this scenario comes in 9.68% below the baseline at 739 validation hr.
  • Use it when planning or quoting a digital twin commissioning or revalidation effort, to size engineering hours before committing to a date. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Digital twin validation load: 739 validation hr (headline result)
  • Base validation review time: 528 validation hr
  • Data cleanup and correction allowance: 40 %
  • Validation case review pace: 0.18 cases/min
