Virtual engineering (VE) refers to the support of development processes with the help of digital, three-dimensional models. The focus can be on product development processes, industrial engineering as well as other development processes of technical objects (such as buildings) and even services. Virtual engineering methods can be used across all sectors.
Know-how of the employees
Virtual engineering requires the interdisciplinary competence of the user. On the one hand, he or she must have an affinity for software, on the other hand, he or she must be technically skilled.
Corresponding infrastructure or preparations in the company
Virtual engineering cannot be carried out without initial effort. For example, 3D models must be created, the logistics processes must be digitalised and the interfaces must be coordinated.
Selecting suitable software solutions
A suitable software solution must be found for the use of virtual engineering. This must meet the needs of the company and be adaptable if necessary.
