Parker’s Virtual Engineer is an innovative online tool that allows you to easily enter your project specifications (speed, load, etc.) and size, then quickly select the best pneumatic or electromechanical parts to support your application. This online resource combines decades of customer feedback from engineers around the world. The program can quickly capture the specifications of your application, optimize results, build interactive 3D visuals, compile a bill of materials, and more!

The process of taking your design from application details to quote, which used to take days, can now be completed in minutes. Parker’s Virtual Engineer is simple and intuitive, and projects can now be finalized in just a few simple steps:

Enter Application Parameters into the Easy-to-Use Interface

Begin designing with minimal guidance. This interface provides visual guides for load position, orientation relative to gravity, and external forces, helping you to capture critical application variables and ensuring that no details are missed. Once application specifics have been entered, Virtual Engineer’s high powered physics engine analyzes your application and quickly runs hundreds of millions of calculations, utilizing over a million product specific data points. These calculations are effective at narrowing down Parker’s entire library of product solutions to a list of products that meet your project criteria.

Size and Select Products That Meet the Demands of Your Application

From the product list provided by the physics engine, you can compare multiple Parker products and filter by attribute (price, calculated lifespan, speed, force capabilities, etc.) to find the part best suited to your application. Collaborate internally with your team to share application sizing details, product selection, project notes, drawings and more in the collaborative work environment. You can also contact Parker engineers via chat, email, or system dashboard to help you with questions as you navigate the tool. This interactive review and revision process ensures that the final solution meets your needs.

Save Your Project, Download CAD Files, and Submit for Quotation

As you make your final product selections, Virtual Engineer automatically creates a bill of materials used in your secure online workspace, which can easily be submitted to Triad for a price quote. You are also able to configure part numbers and download CAD files, simplifying the design process and increasing the efficiency of your own valuable engineering resources.
