The paper describes the development of a tool to make it possible to generate a Virtual Reality (VR) representation of the current state of an engineering project without additional effort. The VR tool extends the CAD and simulation programs used in the development process through a visualisation module. Making use of current geometry and calculation data, it provides direct visualisation in virtual environments. The tool developed is based on a meta-model generated from the data from different application programs. The tool concept and implementation are described for a configurator applied to energy systems.
