Research on CAE Technology Education Approach and Development of Models System

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, CAE technology plays an increasing important role both to the engineering and technical personnel in engineering and the college students. However, some problems are still in CAE education and training in China at present. The relatively simple content learning and testing can not meet the requirement. Consequently, it is significant to have research on CAE technology education approach and development of models system to improve the effect of the education. In this paper, we have deep research on the CAE practical education approach and then develop the virtual prototype model system which is rich in content; besides, the simulation animation library is also set up. In teaching process, CAI teaching method is mainly used to show the kinematical process of the mechanism, which, when played on computers, the motion process of mechanisms are fleshed out. Multimedia as a means o teaching -aid, can be very effective and helpful to students to understand the difficulties in teaching, especially in mechanical principles teaching. Compared with traditional teaching method, multi-media teaching method has the obvious superiority. In practice, students are in group collaboration, design their own prototype model through calling the parts and accessories in prototype model system, and then complete the kinematical and dynamical analysis on their prototype model. It shows that this teaching method has importance in promoting the quality of education in practice teaching.
