Process flow of the Digital Twin (according to PTF)

Phase	Goal	Result
1. Import of PTF data	Completely check PTF, structure it and transfer to simulation format	Selmo PTF export (XML, JSON)
2. Definition of the simulation objective	Determine whether emulation, simulation or mathematical model	Simulation concept
3. Model generation	Create the simulation models (3D, I/O, behavior)	Virtual plant
4. SoftFAT / integration test	Test of control, interfaces, MES/ERP communication	Release for real FAT
5. Operation & data learning	Capture real process data, train the model	Learning digital twin
6. Validation & update	Compare real vs. simulated, adjust parameters	Versioned digital twin with feedback into PTF
