1. A method for reference model-based, component-related development of a technical system, in which with respect to a technical reference system comprising a plurality of reference system components, which each contribute to the function of the technical reference system and are represented digitally by a stored digital twin as a complex reference model of the technical reference system, reference model components for the development of the technical system can be re-used by accessing the digital twin, wherein
a) a computer-aided access orchestration, in which the access is orchestrated with a user-based data and command input as well as a logic-based data processing and command implementation according to a rules-based specification, and for a dedicated system component provided for the development of the technical system, in particular by user selection, which contributes to the function of the technical system, a reference model component of the re-usable reference model components which is suitable for this purpose is determined with respect to the reference system using the reference system components, with which,
a1) in a first orchestration phase a storage location in the digital twin is determined for the reference model component suitable for the development of the technical system;
a2) in a second orchestration phase, a sub-model content of the digital twin associated with the storage location and a reduction potential of the sub-model content are determined in relation to an extent required with the re-use of the reference model component for the development of the technical system; and
a3) in a third orchestration phase a reduction of the sub-model content is carried out according to the determined reduction potential and the reference model component is generated.
