Design of Mine Virtual Simulation System Based on 3D Max and Virtools

Beginning with the situation of safety production in coal mine and the flaws in traditional experiment teaching methods.The virtual reality technology for designing and developing mine virtual simulation system is discussed.A software-based design method is presented in this paper,which introduces the technology of making three-dimensional models,pasting charts and applying colors to drawings through 3D Max,and making interactive designs and conformity with Virtools.The common process and some methods to solve the hard problems for developing mine virtual simulation system based on 3D Max and Virtools are summarized.Taking the development of fully-mechanized coalfaces simulation system precession as an example,the process of application and design is described concretely.Finally,it is showed by experiments that the mine virtual simulation system developed with it has the characteristics such as reality,immersion,interaction and realization,etc.
