How to evaluate Digital Twin & Simulation

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Bentley Systems. It comes from our Digital Twin Platforms buyer guide.

25%
Data Model & Ontology
Semantic model for entities, relationships, and hierarchy (DTDL, OpenUSD, ISA-95, vendor PLM schema); openness and standards alignment; pre-built industry ontologies; ability to represent your asset classes and to evolve the model as assets change
20%
Real-Time OT/IoT Integration
Connectors to historians, SCADA, PLCs, IoT Hub/SiteWise/MQTT, time-series ingestion at scale, edge vs. cloud processing, and how cleanly live telemetry binds to the twin without bespoke middleware
20%
Simulation & Physics Fidelity
Physics-based (CFD, FEA, multiphysics) vs. data-driven/ROM vs. discrete-event simulation; reduced-order models for real-time use; what-if and predictive scenarios; synthetic-data and sensor simulation for AI; closed-loop sim-to-real
15%
Engineering & Lifecycle Continuity
Round-trip with CAD, PLM, BIM, MES/ERP and the source systems of record; reality capture and geospatial context; version and change tracking so the twin stays current as the as-designed becomes the as-built and as-maintained
10%
Visualization, AI & Extensibility
3D/AR/web rendering quality and performance, embedded analytics and ML, generative and agentic AI on the twin, plus SDKs, APIs, and developer ergonomics for building custom twin applications
10%
Scale, Security & Deployment
Scaling from one asset to a fleet, cloud/on-prem/edge and sovereignty options, RBAC and OT-network segmentation, audit logging, and certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, IEC 62443 for industrial environments)
