Real-Time Digital Twins Using CFD, Sensors & AI - Haris Kokkinos Podcast #165

Connect with Haris on LinkedIn: At another episode of Realize Live 2025 in Amsterdam, we speak with Charilaos (Haris) Kokkinos, Technical Manager at FEAC Engineering, a company specializing in numerical simulations, digital twins, and advanced digitalization technologies. FEAC collaborates closely with the Siemens Simcenter portfolio, delivering high-fidelity simulations and real-time digital twin solutions across aerospace, defense, naval, and industrial applications. In this episode, Haris breaks down what a true digital twin really is - beyond buzzwords, beyond AR/VR, and beyond simple sensor data. He reveals why digital twins require physics-based simulations, sensor integration, and AI-driven reduced-order models working together to enable real-time, real-world predictive behavior. 🔍 We also talk about: Why there’s no single definition of a digital twin — and why everyone is “right” How FEAC built a digital twin for a naval vessel using CFD, structural analysis & sensor fusion How AI, reduced-order models, and PINNs accelerate simulation workflows Why engineers today need to understand both physics and data How the job of an engineer has evolved over the last decade What FEAC looks for when hiring engineers (hint: it’s not just degrees) Why Siemens tools like Simcenter 3D, STAR-CCM+, Amesim & Mendix enable FEAC’s workflows Why teamwork beats individual specialization in modern engineering organizations This is a deep, practical, and candid conversation about the realities of modern simulation, digital manufacturing, and how AI is reshaping engineering (without the hype!).
