Research on the Real-Time Mechatronic System Simulation Based on Virtual Reality

Abstract

Large-scale equipment has the characteristics of complicated structure with the hazardous working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, high voltage and other extreme and dangerous environment, which is difficult for operators to master the use of this kind of equipment in the field with short time. The virtual reality technology provides the possibility for operators to receive remote virtual training in a safe place, and has been the hotspots recently. In this paper, a mechatronic system simulation method is proposed for operators to master the use of large-scale mechatronic equipment with the help of virtual reality technology. The real-time simulation of virtual mechatronic system is achieved by the task scheduling, fault injection, mechatronic system and load simulation, where the Levels of Detail (LOD) technology, parallel simulation technology, distributed simulation technology and batch processing technology are used to further optimize the system scheduling time. With the combination of multi-channel video images and dynamic video adjustment, a suitable way to construct the display screen can be selected, and the operator can complete the training with a better perspective, which achieves the purpose of virtual training. Finally, the example of a mechatronic system simulation interface is implemented to verify the effectiveness of the simulation method.
