Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to receive fluid modeling input data that selects a fluid model, from a library of fluid models, and associates the fluid model with a selected element of a three-dimensional mechanical model of an industrial automation system, wherein the fluid model defines first fluid simulation properties for a first fluid represented by the fluid model; and
an aspect metadata component configured to
add, to the mechanical model based on association of the fluid model with the element, a first fluid object that logically represents the first fluid defined by the fluid model, wherein addition of the first fluid object to the mechanical model transforms the mechanical model from a static mechanical representation to a digital twin of the industrial automation system capable of simulating, within a simulation platform that performs a simulation of the industrial automation system under control of an industrial control program, behaviors and properties of the first fluid in accordance with the first fluid simulation properties.
