Overview
PyTwin is a Python package for consuming a digital twin model that has been exported from Ansys Twin Builder as a TWIN file. Each TWIN file is a self-contained app (twin runtime) that consists of two parts:
The twin model, which is the simulation model created and compiled in Twin Builder
The runtime SDK, which is the shared library for consuming the twin model within the deployment workflow.
Because PyTwin wraps a twin runtime in a Python interface, you do not need a Twin Builder installation to deploy it.
For more information on digital twins and Ansys Twin Builder, see Digital Twins and Ansys Twin Builder on the Ansys website.
