Introduction
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
Imagine your hydraulic model not as a static snapshot or a pre-programmed simulation, but as a living, breathing entity that mirrors your actual water distribution system in real time. This is the exciting frontier of Live Modeling, an advanced application where the lines between the physical network and its virtual counterpart blur. This section will clearly define what we mean by Live Modeling (often called near real-time modeling) and introduce the increasingly popular and powerful concept of the "Digital Twin."
We'll explain how a Digital Twin in this context is far more than just a static map of your pipes or a conventional model that you only run for occasional planning studies; it's a dynamic, data-driven virtual replica, continuously fed with live operational data from your network."
