Running locally in the Workbench

Use the open source Scaleout.DigitalTwin.Workbench package during development and testing to host your digital twin projects on your development machine.

Background

For production, models in a ScaleOut Digital Twins solution are ordinarily deployed using the ScaleOut Digital Twins UI. Before you are ready for production, a lightweight in-process environment (called the “Workbench”) can be used for debugging and testing your digital twin projects.

Prerequisites

.NET 8 SDK or higher.
Digital Twin Project Templates
A Digital Twins Solution with at least one simulation or real-time project.

Procedure

Create a new, empty project in your Digital Twins solution. This can be a unit test project or a basic Console application.
In the new project, add a reference to the Scaleout.DigitalTwin.Workbench NuGet package.
In the new project, add project references to any real-time or simulation projects that you would like to exercise in the Workbench environment.
