realvirtual Professional is the standard tool for virtual commissioning and precise simulation on Unity – officially confirmed as a Unity Verified Solution. Import CAD, define kinematics, simulate behavior, connect real controllers – and deliver the finished twin as a GLB into the browser. Full C# source code, one price, no runtime fees for the applications you ship.
Guide: Virtual commissioning – Made in Germany, open source, AI-ready
Deterministic kinematics, robot IK, faithful drive models, LogicSteps, AI integration via MCP, 25+ interfaces, real-time performance and editor tooling – in detail.
Kinematics live on GameObject hierarchies – non-destructively on top of your imported CAD. For closed kinematic chains, the Kinematic Joints solver computes purely geometrically, without a physics engine: four joint types (revolute, prismatic, spherical, universal), exact constraints every FixedUpdate – no vibration, no drift, identical inputs produce identical poses. Delta robots, scissor lifts, four-bar linkages and parallel grippers run rock-solid; 100 delta kinematics with about 1,900 joints solve in roughly 8 ms per frame.
The built-in robot IK drives six-axis kinematics to Cartesian targets – you set the world position, the solver returns the joint values. A convergence flag and residual error always show whether a pose is reachable. And for programming against the real controller, the robot interfaces talk directly to RoboDK, KUKA, Fanuc, ABB RobotStudio, Universal Robots, Denso and more.

Every interface works with the same PLCInput/PLCOutput signals: wire once, swap freely. From Siemens S7 and PLCSim Advanced through Beckhoff TwinCAT ADS, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus and EtherNet/IP to robot controllers and FMI/Simulink – the simulation talks to what actually runs in your plant.
Compare all editionsDrives are behavior models, not keyframes: acceleration, limits, timing. Beyond simple cylinder and speed drives, Professional ships faithful controller profiles – Siemens Profidrive speed and EPOS positioning with STW1/ZSW1 control and status words, CiA 402 servos, SEW MOVILINK, Festo FHPP and proportional valves. Your PLC drives the simulation with the same control words as the real device.
Drive behavior in the docsBuild automation sequences without a PLC and without code: steps like Drive To, Wait for Sensor and Set Signal are components in the GameObject hierarchy, executed top to bottom – serial or parallel. Drives, sensors and signals are wired by drag and drop. Ideal for concept simulation and sales models before the first line of real PLC code exists.
LogicSteps in the docsProfessional turns the Unity Editor into an engineering environment: the realvirtual toolbar bundles the daily tools, QuickEdit puts kinematics and component actions right on the scene view, the Selection Window navigates large hierarchies, and the Kinematic Tool defines axes and groups without hand-editing transforms.
More in the documentationThe realvirtual AI tools are built in: the free, open-source MCP server hands AI agents like Claude or Cursor 150+ tools – move drives, read sensors, wire PLC signals, right in the Unity Editor. The twin’s knowledge is passed to the LLM in structured form, and the AI backend is yours to choose. Because Professional ships with full C# source code, the AI understands the framework from the very code you read. One [McpTool] annotation turns your own functions into AI tools. The result: a fully wired virtual commissioning model in record time instead of days.

"As a PLC programmer I'm using RV Professional now since over 1 year and I love this all-in-one-solution to create machine simulations and easily connect to PLC for virtual commissioning. It can get quite complex but you will get great support by the RV team."
"We purchased RealVirtual.IO Professional for virtual commissioning and Digital Twin development of manufacturing machines. It is a really great tool for vendor-neutral development in a lightweight modeling environment. Moreover, we have had great support, and the how-to videos are really great too!"
"My goal has been to rebuild a full line developed in Process Simulate – a car manufacturing line for body in white, including tooling tables, robots, weld guns and material handling. My first impression of realvirtual is that it is super intuitive – the base information found online is more than enough to get someone rolling on a project. And it is open source: any issues you face can be sent to the forums or even to the developers."
