Create Simulation Models

Simulated devices are based on simulation models. Create a simulation model before you can create a simulated device in Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator.

A simulation model defines how the device is simulated. Simulation models specify the following:

  • Device model to use.

  • Device attributes and their values.

  • Alerts that are generated.

  • Device actions.

Simulation models may additionally define events that simulate the various states for the device. You can trigger these events for the simulated device when the simulation is in progress. For example: You may define an event to power on/off the device.

The IoT digital twin simulator includes some predefined simulation models that you can add and use. See Add a Predefined Simulation Model in Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator for more information. You can also create custom simulation models that use a device model from your Oracle IoT Cloud Service instance. See Create a Custom Simulation Model for more information. If you have previously exported a simulation model, you can import this into the IoT Digital Twin Simulator. See Import a Simulation Model for more information.
