Practice shows that sophisticated simulation environments are still too rarely characterized by continuous simulation chains. However, tools such as parameter and geometry mapping already enable the efficient linking of simulation models (3D scan, FE and CAD) in different simulation systems.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.inpro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-2.png\" "\\"MicrosoftTeams-image")

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>With our augmented reality solution twino<\/span>, we have achieved another important innovation breakthrough for optimized simulation data management in recent years. There are still often large discrepancies between simulation calculations and experiments on the physical object, which can cause undesirable, costly iterations in product or tool development. With twino<\/span>, components and production equipment can be tested and optimized under real experimental conditions, taking simulation results into account. Differences between simulated and real component or process behavior are visualized with the help of augmented reality, captured in real time and fed back into the simulation environment as needed to efficiently and dynamically perfect simulation processes and final manufacturing.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The future of body shop: sustainability targets and e-mobility<\/h1><\/div>The automotive industry has always excelled in progressiveness.
