Research on Virtual Simulation Experiment Teaching of Mechanical Design Based on Virtual Prototyping Technology

This paper studies the teaching method of mechanical innovation design based on virtual prototyping technology. According to the specific requirements of basic course and specialized course on mechanical design, we pay attention to comprehensive training for the virtual modeling, motion simulation and optimization design. At the same time, combined with the practical aspects of students extra-curricular, such as curriculum design, graduation project, experimental skills proje ct, participation in teacher's research projects and discipline competitions, we organize the independent practice in the idea of progressive thinking and knowledge construction, to inspire students to autonomously study the corresponding tasks of product digital design in different stages, which can effectively solve the key problems that the undergraduates in mechanical majors are week in the practical ability of innovative design.
