Comos portfolio significantly strengthened by the acquisition of 3D experts VRcontext From the start of the new fiscal year, the
product will be available under the trade
name “ COMOS Walkinside” and will expand
the extensive portfolio with powerful 3D visu-
alization throughout the entire plant lifecycle.
The Walkinside software is currently used in
more than 200 companies for the visualization
of complex data models, primarily in the oil
and gas industry; for plant operation and
maintenance; and for simulation and train-
ing.
Even today, COMOS Walkinside can provide
considerable added value, particularly in
plant operation and maintenance. By linking
the geometric objects of the VR model with
the engineering data from COMOS, they can
be used throughout all phases of the plant
lifecycle. Attractive and realistic visualization
of the current status of the plant is possible
through direct access to all information, inde-
pendent of the 3D system. This allows main-
tenance and servicing work to be planned,
On September 26, 2012, at the Digital Plant congress in Würzburg,
the acquisition of VRcontext S. A. on October 1, 2012 was officially an-
nounced. With this acquisition, Siemens has acquired one of the world‘s
leading experts in 3D visualization and training software. This further
strengthens Siemens‘ established position in the industrial software
market. The market-leading software Walkinside will be integrated in
the COMOS product portfolio.
