Development of Virtual disassembly and assembly platform for marine air compressor

Abstract

The use of virtual reality technology to assist equipment maintenance and skills training has a broad application prospect, but the existing systems are often lack of sense of reality, over-simplified because it’s difficult to establish the disassembly process model, the lack of 3D interaction design, etc. Taking marine air compressor as an example, this paper analyzes the functional requirements of the virtual disassembly and assembly platform, studies the key technologies of multi-source data integration, 3d modeling with high sense of reality and high complexity disassembly process modeling, uses Maya/Unity3D and other software to realize relevant technologies and functions, and gives the development process of the system. The developed system has been applied in many maritime institutions in China. It has been demonstrated with reference value and application prospect.
