Research on Key Technology of Virtual Engine Assembly Teaching Experiment System

Virtual assembly technology is an important application of virtual reality technology in the fields of design and manufacture. Key technology of virtual engine assembly and the way to realize the virtual assembly system were analyzed and studied based on the analysis and summarize of the research actuality of virtual assembly, including the operation of virtual hand based on data glove, real-time collision detection, planning of assembly route and sequence, etc. The tentative of Virtual Engine Assembly Teaching Experiment System which combined the virtual assembly and experiment together was put forward. An instance of virtual assembly operation utilizing the virtual engine assembly system was demonstrated, and the advantage and characteristic were analyzed by comparing the virtual assembly system and traditional assembly in the end.
