A digital model is a computer generated model of building, product or some other object that is an exact replica of the form of the original. Building information modelling (BIM) is a very broad term that describes the process of creating and managing a digital model of a building or other facility (such as a bridge, highway, tunnel, and so on).

See Building information modelling for more information.

This model should capture and represent all of the digital data associated with the original. The data for the model should be taken from a database that includes a completely thorough digital description of the object.

= Digital model vs digital twin =

Digital models can be used in the development of digital twins. However, digital twins are typically associated with assets, processes, systems, and other entities that physically exist. Digital models may be purely speculative.

While digital models can be used to construct an object, digital twins can be used as a means of optimising the operation and maintenance of physical assets, systems and processes.
